300,000 miles in 5 hours?

I just read this post-- the 5 million mile challenge. Basically, he talks about how to get a ton of frequently flier miles in a short amount of time, by signing up for all those credit cards..

I think I may do it.

Singapore Chinatown

Last week I had my first foot reflexology session in chinatown. Basically I sat in a pedicure chair, had a foot bath and pumice scrub and then had an old chinese man massage my feet veerry sloowly. It was a bit weird because each part of the foot is supposed to signify or correspond with a different area of the body. So for instance when he massaged my ankles it really hurt-- and he said it was because my lower back hurt.

I also had a painful back massage (do not recommend).

Afterwards I wandered the chinese street markets and became a bit overwhelmed by the crowds. (See pic).

Where to go: kenko wellness boutique on south bridge rd, sg (www.kenko.com.sg)
Price: around s$ 50.

First post!

I am in Singapore on an illustrious business trip and exploring the
city on the weekend.

I'm not much of a blogger (this is my first) and I've never had a
diary (so no searching my bookshelves for it).

I was inspired to start this by my cousin roxie who has kept a blog
for quite awhile.

Will send pics and stories soon.

Carolyn
