The lobby of the Beaufort, on Sentosa
Island, where we plan to stay NEXT time. |
The skyline of the downtown area, as seen
from the Cable Car. |
Subway station at City Hall. Times
Square Station, eat your heart out. |
This is a diver vacuuming fish
excrement. Apparently one of the more prestigious vocations. |
Funny Sign #1:Um, ahhhh.....
|
There is very little you can actually do
with the Photo Editing software on the new CLIE. This is one of
them. |
Rich takes over the world: Take One |
Not a door cock, but it'll do. |
Funny sign #2: Who would want to be
any other kind of jeweller? |
Notice the lines on the ground. These
provide a much more intuitive directive than most other metro
transportation systems, where the norm is "Get in (or out) of the
friggin train faster than anyone else!". Hint: You're
all going to get there at the same time! |
This little fella didn't ever manage to
touch his nose to the red ball. He did, as it turned out, taste
wonderful with a robust Cabernet.
|
Is that a fact? |
Picture we are selling to the Beaufort
Hotel. Beauty, ain't it? |
They have beautiful orchids in
Singapore. These were very nice before we uprooted them to take
them home. |

Random candid shot from Orchard Road. |
Funny sign #3: Michelle thought taking
pictures of signs like this was immature. She was right. |
Turtles need Zen too. |
This is the Merlion, a mythological creature
which is a cultural symbol here in Singapore. As Michelle points
out, its really SUPER-mythological, because a mermaid doesn't really
exist either. Oh, that's our hotel behind it. |
Michelle packing. This occupied nearly
one third of our time in Singapore. |
So, not many Menorahs in Singapore.
Merry Christmas, everyone! |
Our bathtub at the Fullerton, which, while
looking exquisite, was never used. |
The view from our room at the Four
Seasons. Trees in a city? Certainly not no! |
There are apparently many historical
buildings in Singapore, and this is apparently one of them. |
I call this one "Tank of Jellyfish
Behind Random Native's Head" |
Don't this kids have parents? You
should have SEEN how dirty that river was that they are jumping into! |
Yeah, so the travel agent neglected to share
that December is smack in the middle of monsoon season here in
Singapore. This picture, consequently, was taken indoors. |
I took this picture out of the window of our
plane, as the sun came up over what I think were the Philippines.
Notice the small islands in the bottom of the image, as well as the UFO
in the top left. |
"Stupid human", the dolphin
grumbled as he performed for the moronic crowd of tourists.
"I could have been running the show by now if not for my addiction
to small fish treats". |
And that's pretty much the last I saw of
Michelle before she got eaten. Shame though, she was a great girl. |
