Flaming Lmborgini
Graveyard
Waterfall(Kahlua, vodka, Brandy (in a cocktailglass)& Sambuca poured over a bottle of galliano while on fire)
These three drinks in one night is the right of passage to become a true singaporian as i learned yesterday from a freind of mine and a UN consulatant
So now I am 1/3 singaporian and that is more than enough xD
this place itself is very intriguing, especially after coming form a plae like cambodia. here there is much nationalistic propaganda, many ruels, no one smiles and everyone spr\eaks english. It is the dream of sustainabl\ility with a hint of regime & corruptiojn. They have great(and very expensive) food and drinks though. And building s where you just wonder why they even thought this was a good idea.
Here a list becasue i did not take many pictures(camera empty+phioen didnt work+go pro in the hostel+ i just went for a walk and ended up seeing 70% of the city with out anypicture taking device)
a steel boat in three skzskrapers
(with an ice skating ring in the bottom; apool on top and more watch shops than in swizerland)
a chep version of the London eye
huge fake trees povering the coling for two glass domes with flowers and waterfalls
the arconditioning in gerneral is always at 16 C
shoppign centers that seem literally endless(took me 15 mintues to find the exit)
a 100% sealed subway system(no touching that rail mister)
a roof over a city quater so it looks nice and you can go window shopppign even when t rains
a skyscraper form the 60's (looks like the artwork for the great gatsby(name: park view singapre)
otehr interesting features of singapore
2 years compulsorzy military service
government prescribed flags for apparment builings(they are everywhere)
military flybys a month before there natinal day
a lion with a fish body became a symbol for this opalce even if there is no conection to the city and it was just the logo of teh tourism board
Also i am quite blown away by the idea that about a year a go I just finished school, worked in a powder coating factory and now i am chillign in singapore i a hostel that has wifi but i don't stay there; went out with a 35 year old singaporian friend i met in perth; am taking a ngith bus to Kuala lumpur tonight and have driven once aroudn a continent in my own car.
and then after all this I get draged in to a bar and get served a pretzzel, paulaner, spezi and nurnberger bratwursts\chen mit sauerkraut. you should have seen me laughing
Love this world
