4/23 Singapore

Singapore was hot and humid! The minute I would be walking outside, I would break a sweat and it would stay throughout the entire day. Despite the mugginess, Singapore is pretty sweet. It is clean, safe, modern, and has a friendly mix of Asian/Indian culture. I especially like the Budhist temple China town, the water/light show, called Womderful, and a play I caught, called A True Calling. The actors in the theater spoke mandarin, so it had English subtitles- interesting way to see a play- it was awesome. I also discovered a fashion show for adidas shoes at a small club- way fun - some pictures to come later.
I couchsurfed with a guy named Ren from the phillipean islands- really great host.
I ate cheap and delicious sushi.
I slept in a Hindu temple
I smoked strong sheshaw (spelling?) or hookah.
Treetop walk was not so cool - not so much for animals.
Marina bay sands is really great at night.
A random holy man (Indian magician) read my fortune. Quite accurate on my past- good future to come and now I can't cut my nails on Saturday or my hair on Tuesday's- WTF? Ha, it was actually really cool- he wrote down a color and number on a piece of paper and put it in my hand. I chose a color blue and the number 3. Tada! The piece of paper read exactly that. I don't get it.
Durian fruit is great.
Off to catch a bus to Malaysia!

4/19 With Mixed Emotions - Departing NZED, onward Singapore

Wow woah!  The day has come to leave New Zealand.  Three months has gone by quite fast.  Good food and GREAT people!  Since I left off last in my blog,  I did the Tongariro Crossing (Mt. Doom from Lord of the Rings)  with 5 friends from Israel and my brother.  Yes, I destroyed the Ring of Saruman, saved the world, no big deal,  my apartment smells of rich mahogany and many leather bound books.  I sadly ran over an opossum with my van, but I guess that's food for the birds - the circle of life.  I fell off a unicycle.  I traveled the North island with my, Yael, from Israel.  We went to Coromandel and cooked fresh mussels.  I got a flat tire, a random guy and wife stopped to help and gave me a bage of weed.  Kiwi hospitality and friendliness is exceptional.  Explored Abby caves, sighting glowworms on the ceiling that look like a starry night sky.  I was on the edge of the world at Cape Reinga where you can see the Tasman sea and the Pacific Ocean meet.  I made it back out to Raglan for a few remaining days and now I'm heading off to Singapore.  It should be a great ride!  I'll try and post pictures soon.  Lots of love to all back home!
