so, so semiprecious



I've almost finished writing tripadvisor reviews of all the guest houses and hotels we stayed at during our month away. Only two remain: this one
(the beautiful Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion in Georgetown/Penang), and our final-night splurge, the fabulous Pan Pacific in Singapore...which still, in all its glory - and with a buffet breakfast the sumptuous likes of which I have never seen - cost less than a mediocre 3* hotel in Amsterdam on a weekend night.

Yes, I'm still in a nostalgic state of mind, and this is still Southeast Asia. Hey, it's still Penang, even. Bear with me.

  2. Lynn, this is so off topic, but I want a new camera. I would really appreciate any advice that you could give me. It, uh, has to be digital.
    sue, as in A Kitchen in Brabant.

  3. It's amazing to me how, with your photographs particularly, once you mention where a shot was taken I can suddenly feel the air, and smell the scents, and imagine the sounds in the room....
