The Air Force’s NDP Rehearsal from a different angle
As I mentioned last week, the Singapore Armed Forces participate in the weekly rehearsals for the National Day Parade on Saturdays leading up to August 9th.

Hong Kong: “exotic” markets in Kowloon
Probably most tourists visiting Kowloon end up visiting the Ladies Market in Mong Kok. While entertaining, in my opinion, mostly junk is sold there or just your average souveniers (like fridge magnets) that you can get elsewhere as well. If you wander further north (and this is by no means...
