ABOUT ME
Strong silent type.. although after a few drinks, I can be very chatty... Average looking as balding, but I think that is sexy..a bit of love handler (spare tyre) although working hard to get ride of it. BUT with all the wonderful foods that Singapore has to offer, it pretty tough.. Consider myself pretty open minded..
PHILOSOPHY
I like variety in life and believe that one should not stop experiencing with new ideas, things, etc.
I like the saying "Keep friendship by not lending money to friend."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Trying to showcase to the world that Singapore is not noly a "Fine" city but have much to offer too.. It not a country that has no freedom or human right or whatever... thus it worth more than the 2 nights most feel it enough to know Singapore inside out...
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The war tunnel in Vietnam, I am amazed by the Vietcong soldiers skill in digging this tunnel and even living in it..They have bedrooms, kitchen, rest area, etc all build underground..
The red fort in India, Delhi.. An amazing piece of work that still being used today by the army.. From there you can get a good view of the Taj Mahal, another wonder of the world.. Made of marble and deco with jewels (although many have been stolen)..
The Great Wall of China, do you know that the bricks used to build this mavelous structure, can circle the earth at it equator more than 3 times!
Teach, Learn, Share
Well I pick up a few trip when traveling..especially in Asia; Firstly always have some small change in your pocket.. for tips on your arrival..or to buy your way..
Ask the local for their local exchange joint. Example, in Vietnam, many goldsmith double as exchange outlet, you get better rate this way..
Always find time to chat with the taxi driver, they can give you tip on where to avoid, where to get good and cheap local food..
Always be prepared for delay..
