I have to admit, I would marinate or coat a meat in that durian and smoke it, you never know, right?
Could be good but then again...

It only took 1 beer but it was in a 5 gallon bucket

Chris,
Just like to add my thanks to you for this post. It's very interesting and quite decent of you to take the time to share your experiences with us. I really enjoy seeing things from a different culture. Thanks again!

Yesterday was somewhat of a little adventure. I went to the other side of the Island to visit my other warehouse and got some good shots of the Singapore Flyer (More info to follow). ....So heres the pics

This is just driving down the highway, the whole place is really clean and well maintained


Another Local Temple


Not sure what this is but its in Front of teh temple


This is the Singapore Flyer. This is the worlds largest Observation wheel at 541 feet. It has glass compartments that you sit in and it takes 30 minutes to make the round trip. Its like a farris wheel.

 

[fire it up]

That temple is awfully...um...fruity, I mean colorful.
You couldn't get me to go on that "ferris wheel" if you paid me, I hate HATE heights and that would be terrible, damn Sister when we were young would rock the ferris wheel bucket when at the top and ever since then no way!
Awesome pics you post, love seeing the different things we would never get to see otherwise.

Here is our adventure into the park. Almost every afternoon I go into the park behind my condo and walk for atleast an hour. Yesterday I took 1 of my Amigos and his new camera to turn it into a photo session. This park is very nice and has tons of photo oppertunities, Koi Pond and things like that. This is a 4 mile hike and about 30 minutes in it came a Monsoon...I bet it rained 3 inches in the first hour. Anyway we had to stash the photo equpiment and get out. We stopped and ate at a little local food center and had the strangest dinner ever......below is the the photos and details

Photos are a little blurred, I believe there was some water droplets or something messing up the photos

First off here is Some Park Pics..
You Know your in a city when they posts signs that a limb could fall while in the Jungle






Not sure what this is but it looks like a weave...


Okay Here is last nights Dinner...At this place you pick out which 1 you want and then the workers dispatch and clean your choice and prepare in a number of ways.......


Finished with a very light Gravy and Tons of Garlic


Look closely and you can see the whole cloves of Garlic




This is called Singapore Bee Hoon. Just noodles and some chicken

Hey SC,

From when I was there, I remember that "ferris wheel"...I also remember how clean and well maintained everything was...it must still be that way since you have commented on it. I also believe that chewing gum was not allowed, and you could not feed the birds either as both would create litter. I also remember the laws were really strict...bring in drugs and they behead you?? This was right after that american kid got caned for spray painting cars (they should have given him a few more licks IMHO). Also, there was no confrontation or public displays anywhere. I seem to recall that if you were a driver with road rage, that they could label you a public bully or nuisance and throw your sorry butt in jail.

Are the local laws still super strict?
