Clarke Quay








Clarke Quay is a popular hangout spot in Singapore built around Singapore River. As you can see it's a pretty awesome spot to walk around at night hammered with all them lights.

What we'd consider cheap beer in America can be otherwise in Singapore. For example Corona is more expensive than Heineken. So while in Singapore, I suggest drinking Tiger Beer. Lager is definitely the way to go in this humid country (plus the weather is always the same, hello equator).

Apparently Mexican restaurants in Singapore don't know what tacos are. I don't know how you can be a Mexican restaurant and NOT serve tacos. McDonald without burgers? No way.

Pattaya beach




You'd think a morning walk on the beach would be nice and breezy. Wrong. After a 30min walk I looked like I went through a dunk tank.

Pattaya











Three views from the balcony of my room in Holiday Inn Pattaya. Pattaya is about two hours away from Bangkok by car. There's a long stretch of boardwalk along the beach, kinda like Pacific Beach/Mission Bay plus the sweat inducing humidity. Also unlike PB, where the night ends after 2, this place never sleeps.

Bangkok Dangerous





A view of Soi Cowboy, a red light district in Bangkok. It's pretty much everything chaotic and shady about Asia compressed into a block. In all honesty I like to enjoy my beer without getting ht on by hookers every five min. Hello, my eyes are up here.

Suvarnabhumi Airport





In case you have to write the English words above in Thai. The cab we caught to get to Bangkok was definitely a rice rocket, complete with light shows and over the top exhaust noise. By the way, two-second rule, the door is that way.

You'd be awed by the sheer number of cabs in shocking pink.

Ferris Wheel






Singapore Flyer is currently the tallest ferris wheel in the world. It's so big you can't see where it is when you're next to it.

In Singapore for most of this week. Apparently there's an F1 race this weekend in Singapore. The city is shutting down the roads in preparation for the race in the city. Hopefully I will be able to catch it...If anything I'll be able to hear the race. Vroom vroom.

Speaker Bear


YouTube Video


This bear can be hooked to an iPod and plays music from its built in speaker. That's the boring part. The fun part is that the bear dances to the music played.
