   2:00 PM ARMCHAIR TRAVELERS: SINGAPORE & MALAYSIA  
    The island nation of Singapore is one of the most important and influential cities in Asia. As modern as any city in the world and preserving its exotic colonial heritage, Singapore, where Bill lived for 3 years, is a must visit destination! Malaysia is attached to Singapore by a 1/2 mile bridge to the South and Thailand to the North, but it is culturally worlds away from both. A blend of Malaysians, Indians, and Chinese give this unique peninsula country an unmatchable ethnic composition of food, religion, language, and social milieu. PLEASE NOTE: Armchair Travelers is temporarily being held at Victorian Village. The entrance is on 143rd Street, just east of Bell Road (across from Speedway). Programs will be held in the “Grand Victorian” building – just look for the green roof!
