I took this today after getting of a boat on a tour of the Mekong Delta in Southern Viet Nam, about 3 hours outside Ho Chi Minh City (aka Saigon). This was written on a wall inside the somewhat sketchy building we docked at. Can you find the faded face painted in the corner?

So I have my very first guest from the United States staying with me in Singapore! My youngest sister 🙂 It’s giving me a chance to go and actually do stuff that I normally don’t bother with. Here’s a few pictures from our adventures!
The Neko Cat Cafe. Yes, exactly what it sounds like. A room full of cats to take pictures of and play with. Or, well, they’re cats, so maaaaybe they’ll play with you, but really they’ll probably just ignore you. Oh, and they do serve coffee, so it is a cafe. Don’t pull their tails or give them your mocha! Also take of your shoes and sanitize your hands lol.
Also my sister was just amazed by the sheer quantity of malls. We were in 5 (6?) today alone. Yeah….
Here’s a few night shots of Singapore.
What’s up Marina Bay Sands? Got some pretty sunset clouds back there….
Hey Singapore Flyer. How’s it going?
Ships waiting to dock in Singapore.
Find the Merlion! A mermaid lion shooting water out of its mouth.
A few shots of the Super Trees!
A night shot of the Singapore skyline at Marina Bay Sands, but not the BEST night shot. The choice was this: pay $25 to get the best shots at the edge of the viewing platform or…pay $23 for one drink and have to deal with sub-par shots with people in it. The choice was obvious lol.
Tomorrow we’re off to Viet Nam!!
This is the major crime of concern in your neighborhood. The theft of A (singular) bicycle.
This gets posted in your condo. A few buglaries, EVERYONE install security cameras! DEFCON 1395708457!!!! Okay, really, you know it’s Singapore when can leave your windows and doors open all day and night period. But now everyone in my complex has everything shut up and curtains drawn except for a few evening hours.
This is your 7:00pm commute home on the MRT. And it’s actually more packed than it looks. Lots of arm rubbing. Good thing I’m not claustrophobic. Singapore’s public transportation is amazing on the whole, but crowded at peak times. But then sometimes things like this happen on the glorious MRT:
Also you know it’s Singapore when it is ILLEGAL to chew gum. Fact. Gum is not allowed. Funnier still… They sell things like Doublemint, but they’re not gum, they’re actually mints. Oh, and also death penalty if you’re caught bringing drugs in. DON’T DO IT!!! Oh, and sodomy is illegal.
But seriously, there are plenty of great things about Singapore. Low crime for suresies. And the Supertrees!
Please share any thoughts you have. I have no cheesy question to ask at the moment lol.
