... turned out Chinatown was only a few blocks away. You would think after a month in the real country we would have had enough of Chinese stuff but we still managed to spend a while in among the stalls. Afterwards we revisited Burgis market as Cesca wanted to buy one of the watches we had previously seen the other day. On the way home we wallked through the area of town called Little India. It turned out our visit corresponded with an Indian festival so the streets and shops were ...

... method as we made the booking during the time a competing travel fair took place. Joining us on the trip were:

1) A, one of my closest friends as well as the friend whom I had been discussing travel plans with. We're also embarking on a trip to South Korea in early October, so I figured what better way to understand any travel quirks he had with this trip. My conversations with him are always fantastic, although for a law student he can be painfully ignorant about cultural ...

... ou de ce que nous avions commande. Un fruit tres odorant, voire puant, le dorian, est tres populaire en Asie, ca a l’air d’un litchee geant et le fruit est en quartier a l’interieur, en de gros morceaux en forme de feve geante. Simon a plutot aime et en a meme traine avec lui dans le metro (chose interdite vu l’odeur puissante). Nous avons vite trouve nos reperes dans cette ville ou tout est ...

... was in pure ecstacy when they played "Green Light".and the whole night in my opinion was highly fun. There was a stage where only girls were allowed to dance while being ogled at by the many men at the bottom (PA alert) - one girl especially was getting rather too into her slutty dancing so Lucy gave her a look of horror and disgust and the girl was mildly embarrassed and then readjusted her dancing but then returned to original dirt mode. At about 3am ...

... through passport control, they didn't ask for any exit proof at all, collected our bags then went to find a taxi to take us to the hostel. As soon as we walked out the airport we were an\bout shocked as it was our first experience of the extreme heat and humidity and our glasses steamed up a bit. In the air-conditioned taxi it was a short drive to the city, only to find the hostel completely locked up with no one answering the doors or phone. The ...

10% partial eclipse of the sun happened today between 8.40am and 9.40am with the peak at 9.11am. Unfortunately we didn't set alarm so no hope of waking up in time to see the eclipse. In our defense there was a heavy rain storm at about 5.30am (according to a taxi driver) so likely to be too cloudy to see anything anyway! Much ...

... at it in real life too. That makes sense from what I can remember of psychology. :) So I think it's like psychotherapy for people with good mental health! (or at least...somewhat good, we're all a bit crazy). and of course I think it's beneficial to just try to stop thinking so much sometimes...whether it's really following this technique perfectly or not. :)

Okay so I saved the first part of this blog entry and I am now continuing to write it a few ...

... an "Airport Bus"!!! As soon as I had all my luggage, I told them that I wanted a refund. Yeah, good luck with that. I was given a telephone number to call instead which I'm sure if I had called it would have have further added to my stress level. Of course, everything worked out okay. It just always does. I was just at the end of the check-in line, that's all. I got in late to Changi Airport so broke my ...

... I'll do some shopping during the day and drinking at night until Monday when I'll be dead center of those bloodthirstily (if you happen to read this, Natalie, that one's for you; underrated adverbial clauses) staring teenagers. Should be interesting. If I survive, I may even backtrack and write up the Similan dive trip and a very spotty account of drunken bowling and other early morning revelry.

... condo has beautiful marble floors, which is quite common here, I think to help keep cool. Needless to say, this unit has been very well maintained. It's on the 20th (top) floor, an OK view and we'll never have to worry about people making noise above. The condo complex has a large pool, children's wading pool, gym, tennis, golf and two playgrounds just to mention a few features. I can't wait!! I know we'll get it.
