Asia Pacific - August 2007

Hi,

I want to visit Batam Island for a holiday from S’pore.

What are my choices? I think there are too many options. Can someone explain their pros and cons?

Go from Harbourfront to Batam Centre
Go from TMFT to Batam Centre
Go from TMFT to Nongsapura
Others…

Pl explain in terms of travel time, connections, ease of immigration, connectivity within Batam, etc.

It has been reported that China is continuing to build up its forces. It continues to abuse human rights in a flagrant fashion. It constantly bullies and threatens its neighbors in the Pacific. And interests in the U.S. continue to call for cooperation with this regime that is fundamentally opposed to everything America stands for; freedom, tolerance, democracy, and human rights.

They are a an atheist country and the people are not allow to have a Bible. Christian in China are being shot, decapitate and cook into pies daily. Their orphanages are full of baby girls left at the door steps ans they want a Boy child. Does this sound like good people to you?

Based on these facts, do you believe China is the new evil empire of the world? Do they seek to take over Asia and the Pacific? Will they challenge America's position as a superpower? Could there be a war between the U.S. and China?

what do you think about all these chinese made food, toys and other product being recalled from foreign market? Fisher Price just started a recall for a lot of chinese made toys, because of hazardous use of lead based paint. but chinese officials claims that over 99% of chinese exports are quality products.

Is there anything to do in following cities in China (yes, I have to go to these specific cities): 1) Hefei (sp?), Anqing province and 2) Guangzhou (specifically Shamain island). ANYTHING outdoorsy would be especially good, so long as there's not too much traveling involved. But really any suggestions would be awesome. Restaurants? Interesting places to see?? Things to do??? If you know of anything that maybe the travel books wouldnt tell you about, that would be really great. Thank you so much!!

i usually take the MRT when i go to work and i have noticed that rarely will a guy offer his seat to a woman. i really couldn't quite hide my chagrin as even if there's the pregnant, the elderly or the physically challenged among them, they would ignore these people and some would even pretend to doze off...

please don't tell me that it is because of equality. the "if men can very well stand in the MRT, women can too," mentality. of course. but a guy proffering his seat to a woman shows his character.

comments?

thanks.

"Empanaditas" are little turnovers made of the thinnest, flakiest pastry surrounding a fine paste of chicken, carrots and raisins - a sweet and savory combination - to die for!

To learn more about it, check this out ---

http://karen.mychronicles.net/2006/10/28/non-traditional-empanaditas/

In the Philippines, empanaditas are very popular and are considered a "must taste" for tourists.

So when was the last time you had empanaditas? Are you craving for it now?

Can anyone point us in the direction of a holiday provider who can arrange an all-inclusive holiday in Thailand for a family in a quiet location. I've asked some travel agents and am told they are quite hard to find in Thailand. We don't want to go untill next year. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
