Gulliver's Travels...

So after being cramped for 18hrs on-flight, we finally touched down in Singapore. Singapore Airlines is truly a world-class air carrier, it makes Air Canada look like a cargo plane -- so I step out off the plane, and no joke I'm driving down a palm tree laden highway in 30 minutes! No customs, just 5 min with immigration, and the baggage came out as soon as I was ready to pick them up. The first night was a lil daunting, the size of my room is almost the size of my bedroom closet (pics to follow), and the shower head ends at my neck. So to wash my hair I have stand on my knees. The NUS campus is a mini-city, its a mixture of terracota roofed houses, a complex of Isaac Asimov styled residences, and a modern collection of glass buildings. The inner roads are lined with palm trees, and other tropical greeneries. I was up at 5am on the first morning b/c of the time difference, which worked out as there was a lot of admin stuff to do. Met a bunch of Norwegian/Swedish guys from the MBA class, and then headed into town with Sonia. We went to Little India (surprise surprise). Sonia brought a passion fruit slurpie onto the train without realizing that she could get her ass caned for that. Little India, is just that -- Little India. It isn't like Gerrard street where its a bunch of paks in stores. This place is really India! Smells, buildings, signs, everything screams of the country. Found some alright deals, got scammed on others. Ullah was right -- stuff here is $$$ (other than food). Ass's crappy phone retails for $300 Singaporean !!! Thats about $230CDN. Archie you're shit outta luck for phones here -- unless you wanna spend like $300-$400 CDN. Food on the other hand is cheap -- we both ate full lunches for a total of S$4.40 = C$3.00. Aside from some other random shit and a lot of walking around it was a pretty tiring day. Today is Friday, a day which I can eat meat on...
