Glad you made it ok Josh.  Sounds like the business upgrade was a sweet deal.  A few years ago I spent 45 hours in transit back from China (I had a 12 hour layover in Hong Kong so I did some sight seeing).  The flight from San Fran back to Charlotte seemed like it took a week as I was so anxious to get home...and I was lucky, some of my traveling mates had  2 more connections after we got back to the U.S.

OK everyone, lets place bets on what machines he finds over there and stuffs in a suitcase to bring back.

I am going to look for some cool bottles to bring back but I don't think there will be any machines. There is a Coke memorabilia store, but my father says the prices are 4 and 5 times our prices. Oh well I don't think they would let me check a vendo 81 even if i found one.

Josh,
Glad you made it safe and got the seat upgrade. The hot towels are nice. Have a great time and take some pictures.

Josh:
I speak Chinese if you need a little help bartering for some square tops in Singapore.  By the way, while you are gone I will be buying all the old Vendo 56/63 square corners in the western NY area.

Thats great. Luckly the national language for singapore is english. The country used to be run by the British so even though almost everone is chinese they all speak great english.
