Singapore Adventures

Day one of SEA:


Buffalo street! I feel right at home.


This is Little India, where our hostel was located. It was bustling.


Pad Thai, my first Asian meal. It wasn't really that good.

This flower was pretty blue.


A prayerful spot


This was a large public library.


This was a three-building-long giant hotel. The structure on the top is actually a giant rooftop swimming pool.


This is the largest ferris wheel in the entire world.


Chris and Danielle in the ferris wheel


And this was our hostel.

Arrival

So I'm in Singapore. I decided to take the train to my hostel instead of a taxi because I like adventure. This means that I am riding the train alone. I feel very American here.


And I love it.

China

Yknow how everyone is afraid of china? I don't wholly understand it, and being here I understand it even less. Guess what the first restaurant I saw was:


The second thing I saw was


God bless america, right?! Spreading our values across the iron curtain.

It is pretty nice here though. The airline gave me a swanky room because my delay was an insult to their sense of honor (they said that).


It was about a 30 minute train to get into actual hong kong. I thought about doing it but it was already midnight (my flight to Singapore is at 8AM) and the currency exchange was closed, so I gave up. Instead I went tithe hotel bar where there were two folks doing karaoke-style American pop songs! Stereotype much? They closed their set with let it be. I had some whiskey.


In closing, yknow how china is supposed to be quite smoggy? Well it is.

Hong Kong

Well I am in Hong Kong. I'm still on the plane though. It occurs to me that I really have no idea what to do now. I apparently am getting a hotel room provided by Cathay pacific, but I don't know how that is going to work. At all.

Ah time to go.

Kick Ass

So I'm on like hour 3 of m flight. I honestly have no idea what time it is. West coast time is 8PM but Hong Kong time is
11Am. I think what that means is that even though I left SF in late afternoon and am spending 15 hours in the air, I don't think it will get dark out almost at all my entire time flying. Does that mean if I just stay awake until it gets dark out, I won't be jet lagged? Probably not, but I'm going to attempt it anyway.

So Cathay Pacific Airlines are pretty sweet. They have a huge library of movies. I just finished Kick Ass, which I expected to be pretty bad. It was actually good, in a very sick way! There was lots of blood and guts and murder. I like it. That is my entire review.

Now I am watching clash of the titans and it seems reaaallllly bad. Perseus has a British accent for some reason. I might skip to Kill Bill.

Asia

This is my face pre-departing for Asia. I wonder if it will look different in 3 weeks.
