Description: Southeast Asia is a world filled with mystery and intrigue, and one that doesn't give up its secrets easilyas the author and his wife soon found out! Walking To Singapore is an often hilarious, but always informative look at the daily lives and disparate cultures of the region, and provides insight into the history of the region, the best (and most bizarre) foods, even religious temple etiquette.
