Wow, thanks for the quick responses! I'm glad to know some of the places to go. I am concerned about the SARS thing, but expect that the company won't insist I go unless SARS has been controlled better than it is now. I don't worry about being in Singapore but about having to fly and being confined and breathing that recycled air. YUCK!! I don't know where I'll be living yet, but will be using public transport so hope it'll be in close. All those details will be settled later. As far as eating low-carb in CA. More and more restaurants are aware of low-carb so when you ask for substitutions they are very accomodating. Of course sometimes when you ask for vegies you get a plate of carrots and they are way too high carb for me to eat a lot. Mostly I cook at home. I love Chinese food, but most of it is sugary here too. This forum is so wonderful, you ask a question and people from around the world answer. Don't you love it? Take your vitamins and be careful of that SARS virsu.
