Singapore Photos

I started doing some sightseeing today, because Visa said they’d send me my check card on Tuesday.  Hurray! 
It was muggy and sweaty as all get-go, but here’s some photos of the sites:

Singapore 1, Japan 0

Okay, so I haven’t had a chance to really explore Singapore, given the whole debit card fiasco.  However, I did do some people watching while I was over at the mall.  First, even the food court Indian food is killer (Thanks, diverse population!).

The Eaten ATM Card

I’ve heard of dogs eating your homework , but this is ridiculous –

Konnichiwa, Asia.

Well, it’s time for me to set off for Asia.  I’ve been diligently planning, packing, and so forth, so now it’s time to reap the rewards and go off and travel.  It’s a fairly grueling schedule, but I will try to update my blog as much as possible.  First stop:  Singapore!

The Week in Review

How did I know I was back in Seattle after spending about 15 days in Hawaii?  Well, it was 50 degrees and raining.  Home sweet home.
This recruiting trip to Hawaii passed rather quickly – between island hopping, visiting schools, organizing a College Planning Day, and interviewing twenty or so students, there was precious little time [...]

The Underwater Videos of Doom

I bought an underwater case for my camera last year, so I squeezed some more use out of it, both SCUBA diving and at Hanauma Bay.  Sorry for the super-shaky-cam, but it’s hard to get the hang of SCUBA diving while trying to snap some photos.

2.   It’s a Honu!
