Singapore Slings





I made sure and had a nice time in Singapore. We went to the place that invented the Sinapore Sling, the Long Bar in the Raffles Hotel. Thereafter i made sure and drank a Singapore Sling at every bar we went to after. Except for the bar with the Mojitos which were probably even more delicious than the sling, but perhaps i am just partical to pieces of green leaves floating around in a drink. I cant tell you what is in a Sinapore Sling because everywhere we went it was made with something different. Really the only similarity was that they were all Pink.

In order of appearance...


Venison... Frog... Stingray. Its a good day to be a human. Delish.

Singapore is Afraid



So we had to leave Singapore, which is OK because it was really a lot of work and not too much fun. But i made sure and had a nice time anyhow. Apparently Singaporeans are very supersticious. Who knew? Singapore is the first socialist country ive ever been to and there were a lot of differences dealing with beauracracy and airports... not really that awesome. BUT the architecture and art and the crazy way this place looked were marvelous so luxurious and very worth it.


Solong Singapore.

Hokkein




I met this man today. he's 88! He chops fire wood to make money. He was absolutely adorable and only spoke a Chinese dialect called Hokkien. When i am 88 i want to be cutting fire wood and running around, and have little muscles, and a cute tiny wife that's taller than i am. He was in this little town in Singapore when the Japanese first invaded the country in 1941 (that's WWII). Woah.
