Singabore

I've been in Singapore for 36 hours, and I'm ready to get out. I don't have a whole lot to report, but I don't feel right leaving a country without writing something.

What I've seen here:

Starbucks, Toys R Us, California Pizza Kitchen, Starbucks, Coffee Bean, Burger King, McDonalds, Taco Bell, KFC, Subway, Starbucks.

It more American than America. Plus it's expensive, especially for southeast Asia.

I will say it's very clean, safe, and nice-looking, but not even the locals can suggest an exciting activity other than the zoo.

I went to see the movie "300" yesterday, and then followed it up by watching a poor-quality copy of "Blood Diamond" that I bought for 90 cents in Indonesia. I then clipped my toenails, did some pushups, and tried hard to fall asleep around 9 p.m.

I'm catching a flight to Thailand tonight. It's one of my 11 flights in 24 days. Hopefully I can find a bit more excitement there.
