As long as it's not swamp lands. lol (I'll explain that if I have to)<br /><br />I'm sure being on the conservation list is not an easy thing at all. <br /><br />Probably why we bought on the block after the historic district. While it's nice to have that designation, I know, when refurbishing our home, we'll do more than most, we just don't want to have to ask them what kind of nails we have to use. ;) No, it's not that bad, but close! ;)<br /><br />Who would not want to live in Singapore? That's why the price is so high. <br /><br />Given the choice of NJ where the temperatures can fluctuate 90 degrees over the course of a year, or Singapore that is at my optimum temperature... guess what I'd choose? <br /><br />Granted, I haven't been to Bali. ;) or Nevis, or Hawaii... lol, I do dream! :)dalesdreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304656921813405064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482266092679432061.post-74162606952778562702010-07-09T20:16:39.635-04:002010-07-09T20:16:39.635-04:00Ahh!

I know you won't believe it, I don't believe it myself but each of these shophouse is worth no less than S$1m++, closer to S$3m or at least S$600 per sq ft. These are gazetted for "conservation" but of course,they will have to be done up properly if people submit their building plans to the government for approval :). It is very expensive to buy a property here as we have limited land.Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482266092679432061.post-81190438166857097272010-07-08T15:02:12.628-04:002010-07-08T15:02:12.628-04:00You're very welcome, Mercedes!

That is the best way to see any new country/place. :)<br /><br />Sorry for getting all mushy on your blog, but, it is so obvious how much you care about your students and you leave such a great impact on their lives and seldom do they get to come back to you and tell you the impact you have made on their lives.
