Last time i was in Singapore, I was in the airport smoking area (this little garden on the roof) and while i was sucking down nicotene, I heard this massively loud noise. I was like 'thats not a 747' and two seconds later 2 F16s, followed by an F18 did this massive arc, directly above the airport. It was cool, but weird as hell for fighter jets to be low flying over a busy civilian airport.
Singapore is sick ass. love it. Storie went into a comdom shop and there was one with a cow head on the end. like a teady.
Haven't been to HK yet (well, nothing but the airport), that and Kuala Lumpur are the next two Asian destinations for me. I've got some pics and what not, I'll post them later. I've never seen so many German cars in my life.
First of all, I don't know if it's drug use that carries the death penalty, or just drug trafficking. Second, it's not a place to be if you violate more or less any law ever, they don't screw around. It's a $500 fine for dancing in public.
Is that the place that is next to Timezone or just above it? I think i been in that place you're talking about.
Yeah that's the one. I was there in 99 and i remember seeing a Timezone because i thought it was pretty wierd.
I also hear singapore has a bureau of censors, thatseizes any imported films (including anime) and actually edits out anything even remotely deemed to be offensive by them. Thats pretty crappy.
As is usual, a sentence starting with "I hear" isn't true. You need a permit to import films into the country, and they have to be rated by the local authorities, but the only editing done is by the filmmaker if they want a lower rating.
Re: the jetplanes, IIRC Singapore is the most militerized country (per capita) in the world. Eerily fascist...
