January 27, 2010

It’s free, it’s beautiful and a great place to get lost in for a few hours on a very hot humid day. They have the National Orchid Garden there.

Contradictions

January 27, 2010

Singapore is a land of contradictions.  I was only there a few days and on the outside the place seems so ordinarily Western (if not for the fact that it’s neurotically clean), but there were so many moments during my time there when my mouth would drop in shock over all the things that I […]
