Singapore. Dear for beer
Remembering that Tiger beer is brewed in Singapore - Downtown Singapore, nine pound a pint. Vietnam it was a pound!!

After a year in the planning we are doing it. House rented out, personal belongings in storage and jobs jacked, we are out of here! After copious sensible years we have decided to cut loose and head up an adventure. Follow us as we travel RTW 2010/11.

Why Travel ?
This life is short and it's the only one we have, where people mostly work, produce, consume, rest and then repeat throughout their lives. This may appear strenuous, so go get out there and take that break.
Right now.....

Blogger user advice....
.....when viewing the pictures in the slideshow below tittled, 'THE' Slideshow (with drop downs.....) 'a long story'... If you click on any one image it will then re-direct you to the full album which is stored in Picasa.
Guess where they are talking about.

EXTRACT from WWB. user reviews of the ???????? Inn, Bristol
please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Despite it's long-held tradition for having a variety of real ales to sample, I never once got round to visiting this place... Until last Monday. A quiet period, being a bank holiday lunchtime, but none the worse for that. Surprisingly capacious, the Annexe has the unusual character of a social club and pub combined, which is a canny mix and one which I imagine goes down quite well with local clientele.
They have that rare arrangement of handpumpage which is set against a wall with the clips facing backwards - and there are about 8 available so clearly there is potential, although I did wonder from the kinds of drinks being ordered by others whether there was enough demand to ever satisfy the full complement. In any case, there were around 5 to choose from and mine was cool and crisp and perfect as a starter-of-ten for the day ahead.
And...all served by a rather sexy barmaid whose pertness of buttock and shortness of skirt was I'm afraid taking everyone's attention - probably why I can't recall which beer I had now!
Ahhhh the Annexe. Too true, no nine pound drinks to here to be had. Unless that is you've just ordered a 'top-shelf fullset up' number. How I miss the Gem...
