Apr 25th 2012 11:13AM Perfect way to stand out as a tourist as well, because only time a local would possibly drinking one of these over priced drinks is because an out of country visitor asked to go have one..
Traveler to be caned for overstaying visa in Singapore {Gadling}
Oct 26th 2010 11:43PM The same guy is also being charged with fraud in Singapore. From the Straits Times, a local newspaper.
In March, Charlton - who was then in Singapore - had made calls from his mobile phone to a Mr Mirko Prskalo in Australia.
He allegedly duped the 74-year-old into believing that his nephew and family were in urgent need of funds in Singapore.
He is alleged to have induced Mr Prskalo to remit a total of A$17,145 (S$21,800) on four occasions via Western Union, a financial services company.
Luanda, Angola: The world's most expensive city for expats {Gadling}
Jul 8th 2010 11:44AM Strange there is no mention of Singapore. If your a family of 4 and want a moderately sized house you are easily looking at 10k $USD a month for something very basic, $15k - $20k a month is very common, then if you want two cars, which is common for most expats back home, the car tax is basically 100% the price of a car, it can really add up!
Midsommar: The very best time to visit Stockholm {Gadling}
Jun 18th 2010 1:31AM Actually Stockholm is the worst place to be during the actual Midsommar day. I was there for it 3 years ago, the city is a ghost town, as all the locals go to islands for celebrations.
Only beer you could buy for the entire weekend was 3% stuff from 7-11. As the alcohol shops are closed. There is still fun to be had at some of the pubs/bars, but it was not the huge party atmosphere in Stockholm like I was hoping.
5am when the sky is still bright, drunk Swedes seem to like to start fights, I witnessed at least 10 that night, good times! :)

A Canadian in Beijing: Exposed Bellies For The Fellies {Gadling}
Jul 5th 2007 3:00AM I am going to miss your posts about Beijing. I always looked forward to a new one. I am a Canadian traveling the world, and am certainly looking forward to the China/Asian part of the trip, and you got me intrigued about Beijing for sure.
Thanks for all the great stories.

Increase the Zoom on Google Maps {Gadling}
Mar 7th 2007 9:41PM Hmm I tried this in a few locations, one being the beach in Fort Lauderdale, and changed the zoom to 20, and got camels as well.. A prank perhaps?
