Slowing it down in Singapore

Slowing it down for a day to relax and recover from the previous few days, weeks, months, etc. Updates have been made all over the site, new things and new tweaks. In the meantime, some more quotes for the Table section.

“Sixty people looking down at twelve million. That’s really something. For thirty dollars you can spend an hour looking down on twelve million people.”
– Jerzy Kosinski, The Devil Tree

“No one can help me find answers, least of all some one who claims he’s found a solution to life.”
– Jerzy Kosinski, The Devil Tree

“…and the message goes out and it breaks out just a little bit but – stops -”
– Tom Wolfe, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test

“Harmony is so essential. Is there pleasure when there is a passage, there is when every room is open.”
– Gertrude Stein, Tender Buttons

“This shows the disorder, it does, it shows more likeness than anything else, it shows the single mind that directs the apple.”
– Gertrude Stein, Tender Buttons

Universal Wanderings

Today we thought it would be awesome to go to Universal Studios for the day. We had an amazing time! Trying all the rides and wandering around, it was a brilliant day. The best parts were the special effects stage where we are were soaked as they reenacted a hurricane in New York City, where Rikki and Mike were selected to freestyle dance in the mock streets of Manhattan, and just playing around with all the side attractions along the way.

Below I have a bunch of photos from our excursion and I have uploaded a video of the boy’s free styling into the Document section. It was hilarious to watch them as they were awesome sports about it! Tomorrow Rikki and Nat leave for more travels and Jackie and Melissa leave for home. But Mike and I will be around for a few more days to round up another gang and see what else we can have fun with!

Messing and luging

This morning I had the pleasure to meet a whole group of travelers Mike, Rikki, Natasha, Jackie and Melissa – who have all met here in Singapore. I was invited out on their excursion to Sentosa where we got a sneak peak at Universal Studios upon entering. We ventured over to Fly Singapore, but only stayed around long enough to snap some photos of flyers. Moving on, we spotted the lifts and absolutely had to take part. Up at the top we grabbed some coffee and decided it would be a ton of fun to Luge back on down. No pictures of luging, since it wasn’t allowed, but plenty of the ride up there. After that we snapped some glamor shots and strolled on over to the beach. Mike and I decided it would be a good idea to clean off our feet from the boat docks but instead took nasty spills on the slippery algae and slid out into the sea. Trying to save my camera from the water I managed to get out alive, but with severely torn legs and feet. However, it was still a very fun and successful day!
