A Short Stint in Singapore
Posted June 14th, 2007 by Valerie MarshallSingapore is dripping with money. At least that’s what it seemed like after spending 8 days in Burma!
If Southeast Asia were Oz, we found its Emerald City. We could do things like drink tap water, not have to dodge open sewers, take trains anywhere (let alone count on them being clean and arriving on time), and strain our necks looking up at the skyscrapers. It was a wonderland of comfort and cosmopolitan guilty pleasures. Perhaps the downside of it would be we don’t have any crazy or fun stories to tell, other than that we thoroughly enjoyed the riverside skyline, museums, parks, wide shopping avenues, hollywood blockbusters, and the opportunity of trying any kind of food you can imagine.




Speaking of The Rest Of Oz, I got my postcard from Remote-McRemoteville today! I guess with all the concern the Myanmarian people have with eyesight, they were able to read the address pretty well!

Thanks!

WOW. I really thought that thing would take as long to get to you as it’s lived on the shelf (30+ years?) Postage in Burma is practically free, so I assumed it was a big joke and they didn’t actually send things. Guess not! Sweet.
