Friday the 13th! Doesn’t matter when you travel
Little Caesar’s for lunch! Five Guys for dinner! Aieeee! Over 18,000 steps. Will try to do a run tomorrow, want to do a video of Chinatown in the morning.
National Gallery walk through, not into. Can always go back on Sunday.
Fort Canning: the Japanese took over the island. Released in 1945, then anti-colonial sentiment festered
Students rebel - Singapore independence 1966. What is it about students and rebellions? Did any one of them become the next leader?
Out to Orchard Road… shopping district. How much stuff do you need to buy in a globalized and internet-connected world? Maybe would be better if the Chinese yuan wasn’t being devalued.
Not everybody is on their cell phone all the time. Old Chinese couple in the hostel? All day watching Douyin. And if they are, they still talk with each other.
A lot of active people and midriffs
Molestation and bomb awareness campaigns on the subway. Ads on how to behave.
Tomorrow, Universal & The Zoo
If you’re coming over from China, check Taobao, Meituan and other Chinese travel apps to see if you can find deals. Yes, you’ll need to be able to read Chinese… or at least know how to take screenshots and translate them.
Aaaaannnddd bonus feature! An interview with a Mother and Daughter staying at the hostel in town to find a university, but also on a modelling gig. Mini Sr and Jr agreed to have a little talk about life as a model, what mechanical engineering and programming is really like, and how a Mother can encourage her children to follow their strengths and dreams.
