There are many places in the world on my list of places to visit.

My short list begins in the United States with the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls. While my longer list includes such exotic destinations such as Hong Kong and Singapore.

I often heard the stories of the far east from my uncle who spent time there after the second world war.

Needless to say, these tales were inviting.

By chance or blind luck, I got the opportunity to go to Singapore as part of a business contingent for our company.

After checking out the various hotels in Singapore online, we made our reservations at the Robertson Quay Hotel.
