Needless to say he was not granted entry untill he parted with a few hundred Sing dollars heheheshsuyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00347532940467465120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782358.post-1135700823044254032005-12-28T00:27:00.000+08:002005-12-28T00:27:00.000+08:00Interesting!

The bargaining can be tough, as the bridemaids always start with 9999999.99 ... hahahaRobin CHANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12980108678986165599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782358.post-1135675367725986232005-12-27T17:22:00.000+08:002005-12-27T17:22:00.000+08:00hmm... interesting to learn of the two customs - t...hmm... interesting to learn of the two customs - the toll collector and throwing of coins.<BR/><BR/>adam, do you know what is the meaning behind the throwing of coins for guests to catch? usually there is a meaning/explanation behind a custom.luciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351637920885427050noreply@blogger.com
