Singapura

And finally S'pore... We met up with Subhash and you can see how manly he's become from time spent in the army by me challenging him to an arm-wrestle. Ask him about his time spent in the jungle, some hardcore stories.



Quincy in Chinatown. Pretty much everyone assumes he speaks Chinese... and they are always greatly disappointed...



Chinese New Year prep



Singapore's symbol, the Merlion. Mermaid + Lion = Merlion. Represents the strong Sinaporean affinity for seafood married with a delight for executing drug trafikers.



DragonBall Q !!!!



Q giving me a ride on his pimped up caterpillar.



I know what you think that looks like...



Cable cars to Sentosa Island. We were a bit wary of riding them after Subhash told us that one of the cars fell off the cable once...



The docks, Singapore's source of worldwide reputation.



Raffles Hotel. Note the smirk on Q's face.



Singapore's river... yeah I was surprised they had one, too.



Taking a break on the bank of the Singapore River.




Lost in Chinatown... Saw a Japanese Pizza here, which was basically just a pizza crust covered in sashimi... looked pretty good.



On the Night Safari, where we rode a tram around a nocturnal zoo. Especially cool was seeing these flying squirrels glide over our heads.



Quincy next to his favorite establishment.



PMT!




At the orchid garden.



They looked nice, but they smelled like old lady perfume. Perhaps it was just the hordes of old women around us though.



Having to sit, probably because Quincy's feet hurt. I seriously thinks he puts a layer of upward pointing nails in his shoes.



The arm wrestle challenge at a dimsum restaurant, to assess Subhash's physical progress as a result of his badass army training.






My room, which was a surprising spacious single for less than $US 1000.




The Prince George's Park Residences, my new home.
