This is a photo I took during our visit to Singapore in 2003. It is possible that I may have misidentified the hotel. The photo was taken from our room at the Marina Mandarin.

Hi Ian, welcome back. I bet you're glad to be home. I loved nursing but have always hated being in hospital regardless of how sick I was! By the way thanks for the puzzle.

I'll have Room No. 1613 thank you. I like climbing stairs!

You must be younger than I am, Anne, I'll take the elevator (if I have to). What a building! Great puzzle, easier than I thought. Thanks, Ian, welcome back.

This is a very interesting building and it is nice that Ian recognizes all of this type of thing. Glad you are back to good health, Ian and can get active with the camera. Fun puzzle.

Wow that is one beautiful hotel. It looks like it's built to withstand hurricanes, tornados, tidal waves and anything else which nature may have in store for it. I would feel very safe in this building.

Welcome Ian and good shot.
ANNE ,very nice that your room in the 16th floor and room No.13 is just in the corner.Is that sound OK.
Have a nice time all.

Nice building

Thank you everybody for your good wishes. I'm sorry that I don't have either the time or energy to reply individually, but my first priority is convalescence at the moment. But thank you anyway, it is most comforting to know that I have so many caring friends around the world.

Terrific photo and fun hard puzzle - esp with the rotation pieces - hard to figure if the horizontal / vertical aspect!

Hi Ian, I was wondering if you were back. I cannot get on to your page at the moment. Darn system, so I came to puzzleland to see if anyone was reporting here. But you are here and that is wonderful. Shows you are on the road to recovery.

Glad to see you posting again, Ian. Relax and convalesce... easy to do with the jigsaws and sudoku.

Yes Ian, Good to see you back. Interesting photo. I think you have mischief in mind when taking most of your shots. You have an eye for the ones that make good jigsaws. Thanks so much.

Helena, you are very perceptive.
Karen and dino, I am trying to relax but I have a presentation to do on St Petersburg next Tuesday and I have lost a few days of preparation time. But I'll get there.

Weird looking hotel, doesn't look like it would have much of a view. January 31,08
