Thanks, GKalra, Cubby, brifusg for your feedback and sympathies. The whole day last Sunday I felt miserable as no where in my four decades plus life have I had such a bad experience. All the more shocking that it happened in Singapore (supposed to be a first wold in the third world countries!!!). S...

I would assume you can do better than that, Joop... :?

I am no fan of pork either angel rose, I was only pointing out that Werner's concept is a smart balanced one: big target audience, right pricing, good value for money.

Be careful with agents here. As soon as they sense you are interested in Costa del Sol, they will try to get you in there.
