S for Steep Climb and Stunning View



The climb to one of the highest points of the Great Wall (Beijing, China) -- is a little steep, and yet, with a stunning view like this, it's well worth everything.

Young and old, they all eventually reach the top!

Q for Q here

Expect long lines when it comes to food!



What better way to ask people to queue up nicely. 'Please Q here'



...and wait to be seated. (Photo below taken with a mobile phone cam.)



Japanese food stalls fill up the food place at Singapore's ION Orchard.

P for Pedestrians at Bugis

And that's where you go for street shopping in Singapore.



This photo was taken two years ago and a lot has changed since then!

But anywhere in Singapore, there's bound to be a shopping centre, and it's always PACKED with PEOPLE.
