more sign craziness

This was on a box for when we bought breakfast for the 145 conference team volunteers, and the Home Plus employees helped us box them up for transport over to the hotel. I still don't know what the middle one means.

culture shock!

Nothing's in english! everything's expensive! No one understands what we're saying!

The view from the hotel

Yup, that's fog. I like fog actually, not so much driving in it, but it's not something you get to see in Singapore. We're up on the 14th floor and there's not much to say about the subject of the view, but it's still a good view. It was rainy for a bit. The temperature was nice, cooler than Singapore but still warm, apparently it gets chilly at night, but so far, so good. That's home plus or whatever that place was called where we went for lunch + shopping (it's the shorter building).

view of Korean dawn

This is the view from our airplane as we were flying north-east toward Korea. We had an all-night (red-eye) flight + layover etc and arrived in Korea at 7am KST. Bleh. Not my favorite thing to do. But I was able to sleep decently on the flight and eat planty and the account of the rest can be found on my main blog. :) Beautiful, no?

Singapore Airport

Just in case the McDonalds pic didn't convince you. This is at dinner right before leaving for S Korea.

Yummy, droolworthy Buko Pie

Buko actually means coconut, the fresh, meaty kind. And Buko pie is (like Balut, Pandesal and Baguoong) a Filipino treat that I don't get often. My uncle actually brought us some from the Philippines since he was in Singapore for a conference thingy. mmm.

Green Tea Ice Cream

So, this green tea thing is so Japanese. It's a little stand-alone stall (with large, foam, green ice creams on top) and when you pick a flavor they take a tub of it out of their freezer and stick it in an ice cream machine that the vender girl then turns by hand and out comes swirly ice cream. The green tea tasted nice actually, strangely mild but not too bland. The spoons were cute too!
