NBC News is calling this the worst violence in 44 years in Singapore. Stay safe Buggyone and Mrs Buggy.

I was in Thailand during some red vs. yellow demonstrations - plus. Never understood what was going on but I avoided wherever one or the other group gathered.

Anarchy versus Dictatorship, great choice. BTW I have been to Singapore but I like Hong Kong more.

Thank you very much. We will be back in The Villages later today - if weather cooperates.

Little India in Singapore was a very interesting area. Our tour guide told us that the Indian section is the one with most immigrants and is the last on the social status.

The Orchard Road area of Singapore would put Paris, London, or New York to shame for the glamorous stores like Prada, Armani, Cartier endless one after another - and droves upon droves of people BUYING in every store!

Christmas decorations are up and Christmas parades are all sponsored by Christian churches. Amazing to say the least.
