Have you had the Singapore Sling? If you're in Singapore you better do a Singapore Sling. We are famous for our Singapore Sling, have you had one yet? You gotta go to Raffles and have a Singapore Sling. No dammit! I'm not interested in the Singapore Sling or any other fruity, watered down concoction for that matter. Real men drink something mean and heavy, a Guinness, that fills you with piss and vinegar (I've always wanted to use that line). So no, no frikkin' Singapore Sling for me. Now the stingray and baby octopus I can eat everyday.
Singapore was great, and hot and humid and it seemed everytime I looked out the hotel window it just finished raining. But when the sun is out you are either prepared or miserable and hot. I managed to be both. It's a 40 frikkin degrees outside and everything is clinging to me. My shirt, khakis, and clothing in my nether-regions felt gross. But I behaved like a tourist and did the tourist things, didn't chew gum, found one store on the entire island that sold cigars (not very good ones) and drank myself sober with some flight crew. Next time I go back I think I'll try to buy some computer gizmos I saw for mad cheap.
By the way I stopped in Melboune for a brief out of the way minute and this is what I remembered of it... zzzZZZZzzzzZZZZ... The hotel bed was quite nice.
Cheers
If you've been watching the news at all today then you've heard, by now, there was a plane crash at the airport near Toronto. Here is the link to CNN's coverage of the event. Why is this important? Well, the plane (an Airbus 340) is gutted and burned to a crisp. And all 297 passengers and 14 crew managed to make it out safely, except for minor injuries. I would just like to remind everyone the flight crew is there for your safety and not to get you another pillow!
My hats off to the flight crew who managed to get everyone out of a burning plane before it got really serious.
Signed,
cabin crew spouse
Okay, I'm keeping it light today. I have a few things to work on today so I won't be maling my almost weekly or daily posts. But I did take some pictures and posted them online. Take a look at our house, and make an offer.
