Happy New Year, everybody!
So many things to write about, so here goes.
SINGAPORE:
1. First off, seeing so many pretty people is definitely not good for your ego.
2. Also, avoid Maa Siam at all costs. It's hard to describe, but it tastes like fish guts pickled in vinegar. As yummy as that sounds, it's not good.
3.Indians are pretty big show-offs.
4.Used to ogling at prices in US $, prices in SG $ are psychologically harder to digest.
5.More people were speaking Cantonese than I expected.
6.This is unrelated, but Scandanavians don't look quite as people think. This is something that I've been hearing a lot lately in population genetic circles, and seeing 'em live was definitely helpful.
7. Airport announcers just cannot handle Indian names... much to my amusement!

The Scandinavian thing: lately, it's been a bit of a game among us population geneticists to apply serious research to mindless fun. One of these games that we play is "Guess that race". The rules are simple... you post a picture of someone, and everybody has got to guess the racial affiliations, based on physical characteristics. It's especially fun trying to guess mixed heritages. (Think Brachycephalic Armenoid...)
In this context, a lot of ppl have misconceptions about Scandinavians. Tall, blond Aryan, right? Wrong. Many scandinavians, pigmentation aside, are strikingly oriental in their facial features... the reasons for which are too numerous to get into.
For example, there was a pretty picture of a pretty woman, who many people guessed was of at least partial oriental origin. Where was she from? Iceland. Infact, she was Miss Iceland.
