(no subject)
Killing time at the Singapore airport, now.
I was able to go through customs, however, and take a trip downtown on the subway. I went to what used to be Bugis street. It USED to be full of prostitutes and whatnot (presumably the subject of Leonard Cohen's "Thousand Kisses Deep") but now is home to a big old shopping mall.
But it's not all bad... the shopping mall has a really, really nice comic book shop. I bought the big hardcover of "Local."
Flight leaves to take me back to Korea in a couple hours.
Vacation was nice overall. Things picked up after I posted the last message here. I went to the very remote town of Bario up in the Kelabit Highlands. Accessable only by flying in on a 19 seat Twin Otter, it is a real nice place to get away from all the hub-ub that is all Asian cities. And I had some fun in Kuching, Sarawak's capital, too.
Next trip? Probably Philipeans. Holly Golightly wants to go diving around those parts. I might hang out on the beach for two weeks.
Okay. Over and out.
