Christmas Pudding
Friday, November 21st, 2008The Christmas onslaught continues. Every day there are more lights, bells, trees, ornaments, etc. It’s intense. But the place you can really tell? The grocery store. I think I’ve mentioned this before, but most grocery stores are in the basements of large malls around here. I can walk to about four good groceries from my […]
Santa Threw Up on Orchard Road
Sunday, November 16th, 2008That’s what it looks like at least. In Singapore, almost 50% of the population is Buddhist and the rest is a large mix of Muslims, Christians, Taoists and Hindus, among other things. No matter though, because we will have Christmas! They say Singapore is all about chilling, shopping, and eating, and I guess there’s no […]
Fall fashion
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008One of the things I’m really missing about living in Colorado this October is the beautiful fall weather. Fall is my favorite season – I love the crispness in the air, the changing leaves, the jeans and sweaters and boots. But of course, living in a tropical climate, I don’t get to experience my favorite […]
Little India
Monday, August 25th, 2008Fun times in Little India this weekend, despite what seemed like a neverending amount of rain. We took the train down – it’s just a short jaunt from our current casa – and ended up wandering around most of the day. We started out just walking the streets. Saturday of course is a big shopping […]
I’d hate to see the 11th craziest
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008Fountain of Wealth
Monday, August 18th, 2008Hello everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We did. We spent lots of time shopping for our upcoming trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia. Yayayay Cambodia! We are leaving on August 28 to stay for four days and explore the temples and try to avoid getting malaria. (Just kidding about the malaria mom and […]
Inside the Mind of a Crazed Expat on a Trip to the Grocery Store
Wednesday, July 30th, 20081. What the %$^! is that racket? German lady, get your kids under control. They are not adorable. I will trip one of them and it won’t be pretty if you don’t bring a sense of order to your family. Aren’t Germans all about order? 2. Ooh, Horizon organic cheese! That pricetag says $16.25 for […]
Our Saturday at Vivo City
Sunday, July 13th, 2008Saturday Jeni and I woke up and decided to get an early start for our trip to Vivo City (Wikipedia entry here). We had some shopping to get done (wireless router, umbrella, etc) and thought we may as well do it at the biggest mall in Singapore. Let me just say that this mall is […]
Singapore! For reals y’all
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008We are here! Finally. Actually once we got on the Singapore Airlines flight to Seoul, it was pretty smooth sailing. Or flying. Or whatever. Singapore Airlines is awesome. The seats were incredible, so big and roomy (we were lucky and got to sit Business Class). They even fold all the way down into a bed! […]
