Update #: 9
Currently: Staying late at the Internet place and keeping the poor lady at the desk from going home.
And I haven't even gotten cained yet! Despite all the things I've read about how conservative/restrictive Singapore is, my time here so far has proven otherwise. The women show their midriffs (heavens forbid!), people cut across traffic all the time, and I've even seen a little graffitti.
Thanks to I-S magazine, I discovered a pretty cool movie theater and saw a Koren/Japanese/Hong Kong movie today. It's called "Three...Extremes" and it was a series of short films, each by a different director (more graphic-intense website here). All three were very well done, if not more than a little creepy. I liked the last one, "Cut", the best - mostly because it used some well written/placed humor to lighten the scariness a bit.
I decided to take the long way home and along the way I came across a sweet little cafe, called My Secret Garden. The setting was perfect - it was late at night, only a few people there, with some chill music in the background. The cafe is hidden in a sculpture garden and they have all these cool trees/bamboo shoots throughout - made me wish I could have had some good friends with me...
Damn, the internet place is closing so I gotta run. More soon - keep the emails coming, good to hear from everyone.
