I was having coffee on Orchard Rd. this AM and saw a 60 something beetle with a ragtop. Not what I would call original condition, but very unusual for Singapore. With all the rain, humidity and heat, I would rather rent a jap car with AC and auto. We just walk and take taxis. I lived here for 3 years and had an old 3 series BMW - paid $25,000 for it! They have what's called a COE - certificate of entitlement, on all cars based on the cost, age and size of motor. Bigger the motor the more you pay in tax. On the big Mercedes the COE would be over $100,000, plus the cost of the car. We just got back from eating chili crabs and visiting some of the local hotspots - loud discos, lots of ladies of the night. $145 for a round - 6 guys. Or I think some of them would be more correctly called men of the night made up to look like ladies of the night. Oh well, that's a different story. Dan can explain. See you in 2 weeks.
