urban wasteland: ubiquitous shopping in singapore.

ghetto pseudo tour guide quest's end *yawn* greeness & the golf club

a chinese restaurant in sfo that ought to have all its employees hanging their heads in shame. they have a glass door that's covered with tons of chinese characters, all of which probably say, "chinese restaurant" or something lame like that.
$8.95 for a bowl of won ton soup!?!? i could probably feed a small village for that much in china!
but i bought one anyway and regretted it immensely. this microwaved sludge was absolutely dreadful!
in my delirious state, i failed to realize that it was sunday and that there's no traffic to the airport on sunday morning. hence, i waited a long time waiting to check my luggage in. boy was i bored.
now just what is the purpose of having chinese characters on this sign? clearly it's to trick dumb people from the us into thinking that this place is somehow more chinese than it really is.
en route to singapore, i stopped by tokyo, one of my favorite cities.
which, as everyone knows, has the most wonderful vending machines in the world.
their sinks are also highly functional and labelled in cutesy pastel colors. fun!
others waiting to head to the equator.
more of that.
a cute little girl doing something equally cute to her hair.
wasting time at baggage claim in the land of the hot and humid. i hate the equator!!
our accomodations were certainly most "reasonable". humble? ghetto!?
a mini disaster in front of the strand hotel where we stayed.
we risked our lives.
but stayed anyway. even new york people had been here. damn american vandals! didn't they see that boy get caned for graffiti some number of years ago? didn't they watch that movie with joaquin phoenix and anne heche!? how sad.
me, bringing our stained shower curtain to everyone on the internet's attention. the beds were even worse, mushy and they were on wheels! each morning, i'd wake up with the bed in a completely different location.
these singaporean monsters!! if only the other members of this animal's family could see this!
bad food for cheap.
one of the masterminds behind the soupy crap that i ate. welcome to singapore!
