   I can understand what does it mean "don't take taxis in Singapore"as I took taxis during my stay in Singapore stamp expo.  The taxi drivers are polite and friendly and will not overcharge nor take longer routes. However, the fares are confusing ! 1) the flag down price are different between taxi companies eg. it is SIN$3.20 for blue and yellow taxis and $3.70 for silver cab. 2) there is a surcharge during peak hours or at night.   During non peak hours, it costs 5.40 from my hotel to Sands Convention Centre and close to $10 at peak hours. Before i am aware of the surcharge fares, when i landed in the airport and took a taxi to hotel,  the meter was $27 and i paid with a hundred dollar bill.  The driver gave me a number of notes for changes. i was in a hurry and didn't count. Later on, I found the change was $64  which meant the driver charged me $36 which i thought i was cheated by $9 until i found it was a surcharge !!
I understand the different taxi tariff system also applied in USA. Am I correct, William ?

I have to send my apology to Singapore Post as I purchased a set of Singapore stamps at the stamp expo and I saw 1st and 2nd on the stamp which I though it was 1st class and 2nd class airmail and i used it to send letter to China. If my friends received it with due, it is purely my fault !

I can't remember how many medals I have won so far. I took part in stamp exhibition since 1996 and the most rewarding were Hong Kong 2009 and Taipei 2015 which I took home a large gold medal plus special prize. l have applied for NY2016 and am look forward to seeing you in the States.

據我所知，香港有關卓然與區德仁伉儷，等會到紐約。蔡昌道先生仍未決定。

多謝張先生誠意相邀，並以龍蝦為餌，其實我與太太最喜龍蝦刺身，其次是蒜茸蒸。
但無論如何，在此先行謝過，希望十年之後可以來吃龍蝦。

或是先生來香港讓我可以作東。

不知ROBERT 會不會參加10月的台北世展﹖ 若參加我們將會見面的。我在去年台灣亞展和新加坡世展俱見到 JIM, 唯獨不見先生, 希望10月不會緣慳一面。

I can't say that as there are many excellent exhibits including Messrs. William Kwan and Francis Au who scored LG (95 points) and G (93 points) respectively.

當今美國寄航空仩，7 至10天可達。清代未有飛機，只靠郵輪運送郵件，郵輪横渡太平洋至西岸的西雅圖、温哥華或維多利亞，再經陸運或火車至東岸的紐約，全程約42-45天。
偶亦見走大西洋線的，但並不多見。

小陳可能住得較偏，香港寄給他的信件也要兩至三星期才可收到。
