Python

We were on holiday there in '96, and I well remember being put off my breakfast by the picture on the front page of the paper (New Straits Times?), showing the guy's legs protruding from the python.

Great place; No1 son was born in Changi in '69 and after I did my final Herc trip to Singapore in '73 I never thought I'd get back there. But maybe we CAA controllers weren't so badly paid later on, as we managed 7 holidays there from '88 to '02, the last only 4 months after 911 ( or 119 as it should be in proper language!) and the locals in Malaysia were so pleased to have tourists coming so soon after that event.

Can't afford business class fares now, so haven't been for 9 years.

Have a great holiday!
