Singapore

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!
