Guys are not really wired for shopping. We prefer to find what we want and make a clean escape. All this mucking about with the crowd and being held up by random slowpokes just gets me miffed.

Anyway, Club Med was very fun. Highly recommend their Bintan village to anyone that has a few days to burn and an urgent need to be away from Singapore. For those who aren't familiar with them, they have a very unique approach to holiday getaways.

Basically, it's a self contained resort with copious amounts of sports amenities depending on the locale. Here it's stuff like tennis and archery, while in Japan they have ski lodges. You get vacationers from all over the world, everyone is really friendly and it's one happy utopian society.

Really hard to fully describe the experience. Go look up Wikipedia, you won't be disappointed.
