Today we spent some quality time with our long lost foreign friend. Clay and I had McDonald’s for lunch, but Justin got us to venture to the bottom of floor of one of the malls. The food was awesome! I surprised at how clean everything was, probably better than conditions at home. We sampled some mochi had some delicious meat on a stick and had the best juice, the steamed cakes were not steamed they tricked us. I actually wish there were little juice stands at home. We ended up eating at TGI Friday’s it was delicious, and a little weird because all the staff was wearing costumes. Halloween doesn’t really seem to mean much here but a large portion of our ship is going to try and celebrate. Justin and I had a conversation about Chapman and he encouraged me to take a class with Dr. Booth, I think I’m going to try and audit his Economic Development class in the Fall. Hopefully we get to visit with our local singaporean again for lunch, 36 hours in singapore isn’t enough time.

Just had a great conversation with our taxi driver from singapore, many of my taxicab conversations are interesting. He explained to me that the strict price controls make his job very difficult, he said he can’t make more money by working harder “It is all luck”. In the downtown there is a government tax on driving in certain areas, called the “ERP” our driver said he calls it the “Everyday Rob People”. As Justin Bieber came on the radio he sang along, and he was surprised to learn that Justin is a young boy and not a lady. He actually said “I always thought this was lady” multiple times. I like singapore. Dinner with Justin was excellent too, my tummy hurts of fullness. No Singapore Slings for me, the alcohol prices are very prohibitive. We’ll visit the tailor in the morning I feel like things are going to turn out well.

Only 8 hours away!
