I&#8217;ve had some trouble getting to the blog&#8230; it seems I picked a bad time of year to transfer my domain and run out of disk space&#8230; and only fixed it at the end of this session, but I hope I&#8217;ll be able to post more soon.  En breve, Singapore is nice but more expensive than most of Europe, and both it and Malaysia seem more Westernized (in the limited parts I&#8217;ve visited, granted) than Hong Kong.  More English on the street, in particular, even in Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p>Stubbed (and possibly broke) my toe on the way out of Singapore but it isn&#8217;t acting too bad yet.
