I'm glad someone else thought of that possibility.  I read recently
about the cause of an aircraft accident being found to be the
misunderstanding by the first officer, when at V1, the captain told
him, "Take off power", and he understood it to be, "Take-off power".
This was revealed by the voice recorder, after the crash.

Both.  Mix it 50:50.  I think it still makes you blind, but it just
takes a bit longer.

Even in Singapore $ that Tiger would have taken a nasty bite out of
your finances!

I have been disappointed by Indonesian restaurants in Chinesey cities.
The "Indonesia Restaurant" in Kowloon had all the Indonesian ambience
and matching prices, but the food was far too bland.  The table was set
with both chopsticks and spoon and fork, and the satee kambing was
subtitled Mutton on the menu.  My rendang daging was very mild, and I
needed 3 extra plates of sambal to bring it up to acceptable heat.
