Singapore

Almost amusing, the way S'poreans boast about their little City State. So clean, so technically advanced. And shopping. And food.

I think they need to see a shrink.

Staying in Singapore right now, and massively disappointed. Paying a fortune for a hotel that's nothing more than a rathole, impossible to get an internet connection, food completely tasteless (for God's sake, there is something called "salt").

Took my Macbook Pro outside around Orchard St, and managed to find a WiFi, but WTF!, the connection sucks BIG TIME! The speed is something I remember from the time I moved to Bangkok in 1998.

And all these signs ... No spitting ... speed camera ahead ... Reduce speed ... Low speed ... Reduce speed now ...

Tried to find an ATM around Sim Lim Square, the computer mecca. Found one, but the queue was 30 m long, no joking!!! Continued walking, found one bank with 6 ATM booths outside and a queue about 30 m long. Ok, had to accept this harsh reality ... I mean, come on! to wait in queue to get some fucking monopoly money???

Thank God I'm going back to Bangkok tomorrow! With a 4Mb wireless connection, with delicious food, with gorgeous babes all over, with civilized prices ...
