This is Andrew the Irish minority here in Singapore. Today i have been the object of prolonged blank stares and had school kids call me "the ugly American" in the swimming pool. So i confronted them and they cried "stranger danger" and swam away.[This is Nathan pointing out our destination on the board.]
We have been having some serious tech troubles to list a few: upon arriving at the house we are staying at Mr. Lee fried the computer cord, Dan lost the memory card to his camera (most of the pictures on it were of the hamster Monty -- so it wasn't too much of a loss), we had headphones break, Nathan fell into a ditch on the side of the road while video taping and the camcorder took the brunt of the fall and is now in disrepair.

We are having a great time here and the food is so good. We spent most of the day today downtown looking for electronics and then went to a friends house (who is a assistant dean at a college - the national university of singapore). It's our second day here and already it seems like we have been here a long time.

Interesting shop, there. Looks delightful. Or something. Can't say I'd be too excited to eat there, but who knows? :D
So, did anyone try the Pig's Organ Soup? So glad that you are all doing better then your electronic equipment. We sure are enjoying keeping tabs on you all through the blog. May God bless you all!
