Title: Just got back from Singapore and Manila.
Post by: GmanJoe on June 16, 2010, 12:16:16 AM
God dang it was hot! It makes WashDC hot humid weather feel like cool spring day.

Anyway, Singapore was beautiful. Obviously, it was clean as hell. When you get fined for spitting or leaving trash around, people tend to stop doing that stuff. Especially since the fines are really high.

Singapore is the most diverse city in the world. They all speak English, with the worst accent. The food is out of this world. This makes American fine dining taste like Denny\'s and I\'m a foody. Their chili crab is my favorite. Their sushi is phenomenal. I gained at least 5 pounds there. Shopping malls are EVERYWHERE! And most are underground and all connect together in this little island. That\'s pretty much their entertainment: shopping or flying out of Singapore. :laughing: Singapore has no beaches at all.

Manila, by contrast, is dirty and crowded. But their food is under rated. The miracles they can do with pork is something to behold. Their lechon surpasses Puerto Rico\'s lechon. Philippines has a lot of beaches that are under rated as well. Well, it\'s not really under rated. Just hard to get to. So it doesn\'t get as much press.

It\'s 4 am and I\'m still trying to get over this jet lag.
