Where shall I bring my kids this June holidays?

Why not jsut stay in Singapore and bring them to the IRs!

China is known for their tourist traps. But I would like to highlight this one in Beijing- a developed part of China. It was apparently a tourist attraction- The Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. My friend and I were separated and taken into different rooms where we were told that there would be a free consultation. The physician took my pulse and told me that I had a bad liver. I needed to purchase these bottle of miracle pills. I would see then see the effect in 2 weeks time. After awhile, my friend and my other tour mates came out. We realised that we ALL had the same liver problem! I came back to Singapore and got the pills tested. Apparently they were just normal vitamin pills.

Be careful when buying stones and jewellery from Factory in China, they tell the same story everytime when a bus load of tourists are brought there. 'U are lucky today our Boss in the factory, you can get very good discount 80 to 90%, if you ignore they can let go any stones @S$50. We experienced this once in Beijing and the same trick in Hainan Island when we joined their local tour. In the group, I met a local couple told us to be careful, they have been telling the tourists the same story, she has been cheated earlier, once when they first time brought friends from Canada, They will separate locals and tourists before they start their nonsense. We got the namecards - same group, the bosses same first and second name only last name is different - maybe they are family.

Hi all, I'm looking for warm thermal clothings for trekking in the cold that can withstand at least -30deg for the body. Any suggestions as to where I can get them? (preferably in Singapore)

There's a shop called Winter Time at IMM and 313 Somerset (the new shopping centre just about Somerset MRT station). They have decently priced winter wear. But not sure if its sufficient for your -30 deg, but worth checking out. Where are you heading to? haha.

I stay in Singapore and I want to try going for a ski holiday, but to go to the Alps in France or to Switzerland is going to cost a bomb. Where's good for skiing in Asia?
