I'm glad you are exploring new cities on this trip. We will be in Japan in March so are reading with great interest.

Digging deep within the city
I always enjoy your adventures as you find these that are not mainstream. I enjoy walking the streets of discovery with you.

Digging deep
One of the things I like about traveling alone is that I can take that side street to look at an interesting sign, and maybe, find something wonderful.

The coolest stuff
I like the small, quirky museums. I once went to the Museum of Tobacco and Salt in Tokyo. Different? You bet!

I'm glad you are out exploring the world again. That is disappointing you were unable to get your manga sketch. I'm sure you will find other things to do.

No Manga for me
I can always find something to do, but it would have been very cool to have my portrait as Yuzuha from Tokyo Revengers.

Sheltering in place
Yes, that reminder of being in the at risk population is annoying but it is what it is. Really enjoyed this blog.... thank for sharing. Dubai will be there waiting for you. I'm glad Tazamagician is attempting to rack up frequent flyer miles. Too bad he can't get them and share them with owners!

Sheltering in place
Right now my horses are doing more travelling than I am. Another horse that I have a small share of ran in the Fantasy Stakes at Oaklawn Park in Arkansas on May 1st. Their frequent flyer miles would make a nice bump in my account, though I think it will be awhile before I feel comfortable getting in a plane.

Not bad! I would say being holed up in a “Chez” anything definitely has perks. Don’t worry you’ll be traveling to the UAE before you know it. In the meantime stay safe and well.

Not bad!
Thanks, and you're right, I'm pretty lucky to be safe at home. I really feel for people who are stuck someplace they don't want to be, like guest workers in parts of Asia and the Middle East.

Quirky museums
There you are back in Singapore and visiting those odd little museums. Have fun.

Back home again
The river walk sounded nice. Each time to come at the city from a different perspective.

River Walk
I like walking along the river. Sometimes I'll just sit and watch it for a while - but saying I'm watching the river doesn't sound very interesting.

Thanks for making history come alive.
I used to compete in dragon boat races on the river mouth. While I was aware of some of the history of the area, you really made interesting with your focused snippets. I must have walked past that mosque a dozen times without thinking much about it.

History
Thank you for your kind words. There are so many times in Singapore where I will walk past a building and wonder what it was when it was first built - there are a lot of stories there. I highly recommend the pamphlet "The Singapore River Walk," put out by the National Heritage board.

Happy New Year Karen
Looks like you are having a good time and enjoying retirement. I am happy for you. The weather is cold but we haven't had allot of snow. I am ready for summer already. We are thinking about where we will go next but no big plans yet. We are enjoying a leisurely life. Keep in touch!

Retirement
Retirement is a wonderful thing; I highly recommend it. Good to hear from you, and I'm happy you are following along on my adventures. PS. I do NOT miss snow.
