I've only been in Singapore for 3 days now, but I'm considering extending my visit. I only told my teachers I'd be gone for a week and a half, but these days it's easy to blame flight cancellations, bad weather, etc. I really love it here . . . it's not as rife with historical landmarks and famous, tourist overtaken, sight-seeing destinations as

This all sounds very Matrixy to me, and therefore scary. I didn't know Singapore City was so evolved, if that's the right word.

I like this entry, though it terrifies me. I'm jealous of your traveling endeavors.

it's so funny how asian countries vary. some are so forward-thinking and aesthetically-pleasing while others seem horribly entrenched in old-world ideals. when i was in yemen, i was really shocked at how archaic the whole society was. not only were all the buildings built out of rice paper and seaweed, but i had to travel everywhere in rickshaws, and my hotel--which was really just a pad of dried mud surrounded by dried beranke leaves--didn't have air conditioning or running water. i guess i'm just too much of a westerner, but i couldn't wait to get back to japan so i could make out with a couple harajuku girls and infect them with my american STDs.
