About the Author:
About the Authors Jennifer Eveland (Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar) was a child when she and her family first moved to Singapore, and after returning to the United States, she was drawn again and again to the magic of Singapore, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. She is the author of Frommer's Singapore & Malaysia and Frommer's Thailand, and currently lives in Singapore. Jennifer would like to acknowledge a few special friends who have contributed laughs and fun to her life in Asia and her travels for this book Noke Methinee Prathoomsuvarn You Corn Dog Queen; Andrew Chan with the most comfortable sofa in Bangkok; that funky guy Duc who pops up every time she goes to Vietnam; The Buddha Snake; Les Drolets Alain and Mical Mercier Oulevey; Michele "The Hudak" Brace; and most especially Ben and Groovy at Bojangles in Singapore. Lynn A. Levine (Bali & Lombok and The Philippines) is the author of Frommer's Turkey and co–author of Frommer's Italy from $70 a Day. The spirit of adventure has inspired her to repeatedly quit 9 to 5 jobs, and an uncontrollable urge to tell people where to go has helped her thrive under Frommer's assigments. Lynn splits her time among Manhattan, Florence, Italy and the Jersey suburbs and is frequently accompanied on her travels by her faithful Jack Russell Terrier, Buster. Lynn would like to thank Stan Maringka of IDCI Inc. for the "straight up" on Indonesia, Ketut and Putu for providing an insider's view of Lombok, Martin and Julie O'Neill for their tireless advice on Bali, Steve and Heather Sargison for help and comic relief in Cebu, Nadine for the best cappuccino in the Philippines, and Philippine Airlines Corporation. Special thanks also to Kelly Regan for that first shot, and to my morn, without whom none of this would be possible. Beth Reiber (Hong Kong) worked for several years in Germany as a freelance travel writer for major U.S. newspapers and in Tokyo as the editor of Far East Traveler. Now a freelancer again and residing in Lawrence, Kansas, with her husband and two young children, she is the author of several Frommer's guides including Frommer's Hong Kong, Frommer's Portable Hong Kong, Frommer's Japan, and Frommer's Tokyo, and is a contributor to Frommer's Europe from $70 a Day. Beth would like to thank some very special people who graciously extended their help in the preparation of this book: Peter Randall, Diana Budiman, and Mandy Lo of the Hong Kong Tourist Association; and Teresa Costa Gomes of the Macau Government Tourist Office.
