Singapore: Day 1

[lishesquex]

Just a short post because I'm tired and tomorrow will be another big day of walking around in tropical weather, but I'm in withdrawal a little from WoW/LJ/internetlife so I thought I'd pop in and say oh hai.

So... Singapore. Christmas decorations are omg so pretty. I'll post pictures later. Their airport is huge. The hot/humid weather almost killed me at first but I'm getting used to it. They have double decker buses! Their trees look awesome and jungly. (Saw a vine today and felt a compulsion to try and swing from it but I didn't.) They have Starbucks and Borders and KFC and Burger King and... Video Ezy, of all places.

My aunt has a live-in maid called Nancy. She gets one day a month off as well as every Sunday morning to go to church, and she prays in her spare time. o.O

Bought ice cream from a street vendor. I had red bean ice cream. My aunt bought durian flavored ice cream, which I tried and quite liked. Rianna hated it and QQed for the next five minutes and desperately tried to rid her mouth of the taste. Lol.

I also ate one of Singapore's famed soft-shelled crabs whole. Except for the eyes. They were just too... beady. I dared my sister to eat the eyes for $100 but she declined.

Also, ironically, on our first day in Singapore, we watched Australia. It was interesting though, because the audience laughed in places where an Australian audience probably wouldn't, and Rianna and I giggled at bits that nobody else got.

Anyway, bedtime for me. *waves*

Zomg a durian farm. So many durians in one place. What was the smell like?

The Starbucks, Borders, KFC, Burger King and Video Ezy doesn't surprise me at all. :D Did you try going to KFC? Is the chicken there different than it is in Australia? I remember being so disappointed by KFC in the UK. :(

Omg, durian! ♥

... if I eat the soft-shelled crab's eyes, will you give me $100? :D

I didn't go to a KFC in Singapore, but I did enter one in Thailand. The menu looked completely different and I was too intimidated by it so we left and went somewhere else to eat, lol. What's KFC in the UK like?

How about $50 and a kiss? :D ... But only after you brushed your teeth.

Oh, yeah, we have some crazy things on our KFC menu in Thailand, haha. We have more normal things that aren't so much fusion foods too though. It makes me kind of wonder what the menu in Australia looks like.

Lol, well, I guess KFC in the UK wasn't too bad, it's just that they didn't have the crispy skin/batter thing? The surface of the chicken was pretty much flat, if that makes any sense. And their spicy chicken wasn't spicy. :(

So... are you saying that one of your kisses is worth $50? ;)

Hell no, my kisses are worth much more, but they're on discount for you. ;)

*stops flirting with the straight girl*

Our KFC chicken has the crispy skin batter thing. It's just not KFC without it! The KFC in Thailand didn't look like it had the crispy skin though...
