Singapore Sling

So one of the most historic hotels in Singapore is the Raffles, and they are known for creating the drink, "The Singapore Sling". We go to this very nice hotel to check this out...and I must say, it was...g r e a t...ly disappointing. It was basically fruit punch with barely any alcohol, premixed, and a smooth $26! So all said and done it was about $61 for two glasses of barely alcoholic punch! ...but it felt so historic!

Anyway, we had a great time cruizin India Town, and wandering the streets of Singapore. They basically have many of the same retailers and even restaurants that we have and more. They have even turned underground tunnels into malls so you can shop as you walk from one subway station to another for a transfer. The skyline is very cool and I discovered a cool feature on the camera that takes great pictures at night (pics will come later).

Right now we are going to try and find a new place to stay until we move on to our "anniversary suite"! Coming soon: Night safari zoo, the casino hotel (triple tower hotel/casino with a big cantilevered roof...as seen on modern marvels), more tiger beer, and much more! We are not getting slung anymore...but stay tuned!

Singapore!!!

after a long flight to tokyo and a sleep filled flight to singapore...we made it. we got to the hostal around four am and went out to get a bite and a beer...there were still plenty of people out and it was a good first night. fast forward to thursday and we just had some killer noodles and hand made dumplings...brian is in noodle bliss. we are heading out now to walk around this massive sauna they call singapore.

goodbye western world...

We are leaving for Singapore today! We will hopefully get some sleep during our 19 hours of travel. We will miss California and all our family and friends. Can't wait for the adventure to begin!
