i disagree about Singapore. I think it's the only city in Asia that can match London in terms of tourist attractions. London and Singapore are the two greatest cities in the world (that I've ever been too). I don't think Singapore is expensive. You can get Chicken Rice for $4 in hawker centers. Botanic Garden is free. They have the best public transport system in Asia. Second best food in the world (after Indonesia).
Paris is my least favorite among the European "big three" (London, Paris and Rome). I like it but I would stay away from Champs Elysees next time.
Thank you for a very detailed experience of your trips.I am also from your part of the world - Malaysia and I have done Europe over 20 times as a student studying in London in the early seventies. We now live in Canada and we were there in January and Sepptember this year. We always travel by Eurorail and the experience is exactly what you described. The best is the German ICE trains. I am visiting Paris end of November and bet you it will rain. We were pickpocketed in Paris and spent 2 hours at the Gare de Lyon police station giving statements.We almost became victims in Barcelona too. Your blog will be of great help to others who will be touring Europe. You all must try Eastern Europe. Prague is now my favourite city after Paris. Shopping in Milan is a good experience. Singapore is too expensive and overated. I love Jakarta too and stayed in nice hotels along Jalan Moh Thamrin as guest of Indonesia Sportsman of the Year 1972, Hengky Iriwan Sadly he was killed in a motor race organized by my Club on April 22, 1972.
Its so wonderful to read you had such a great time, i didn't have my honeymoon in Venice, but i got engaged there :) it was really exciting, and so we mapped our road well with this http://www.voyajo.com/searchResults.aspx… and now reading your journal really took me back a couple of years, cheers to that
