civilazation

so, singapore is just one big disneyland really. they do not have a lot of wild nature. they have lotsa malls. lots and lots of malls. the malls are very big. the shops are very shiny. they have weird shit in the supermarket:

















we started the day with some light browsing, about three hours in a book shop.

we then checked out a hotel straight out of a james bond film:


we went to a bar. we had a $20 drink. it as pink and sweet. you got to peel your own peanuts and throw the shells on the floor.

next on the list was the local disney park . they called it sentosa island. it was, in fact, disneyland. a disneyland where you pay seperately for each ride. everything was synthetic. especially the nature.

the beach was out of a Caribbean resort ad.


to finish the day off we spent about two hours exploring yet another mall. they had all sorts of israeli brands. what the hell? and a really big croc shop.

on the way back home we checked out the night life area. we were offered to eat eels, shark fins, crabs [and really big ones, too], prawns and all sorts of stuff which should really stay in seaworld. we got to watch the seconds Pirates movie on a big screen in the middle of the street for free [the third one is coming out here tomorrow, just before we get on the plane to frankfurt]. they really like Depp here. on the way home we saw the local Hooters. only problem is, asian chicks are pretty flat all over.

i should really upload some photos of the room we're staying in [a really thin futon in a room hardly bigger than the futon]. and the bathroom doors which you need to fold in three different directions to open and close. i guess i have to photograph it first.

singapore kicks ass!
i [heart] singapore!
