The Asian Adventure Part 2: Welcome to Singapore

Wow... so many thoughts on this one, but for real... like if In Pirates of the Caribbean 3, had a Disneyfied version of Singapore in the olden days, then THE REAL SINGAPORE is actually completely the Disneyfied version of Asia. It's trippy and surreal. You know when you first visited Epcot Center and was like wow, look at all these foreign countries, gosh I want to go there. Well the city officials at Singapore went to Epic Center and saw all the Asian countries and was like, Wow I want to go there. And then another guy chimed in, hey, why don't we turn our country into that. And all the officials screamed "YEAH!"

But in all seriousness, this place is off the hook (did i really just say that.) and it's really clean, and it doesn't feel foreign at all, except for the fact that every time you get an American dish, it tastes weird, but when you get an Asian dish, it tastes better, and that they drive on the left.

Oh and it is really humid and muggy, but that's okay, nothing wrong with a little sticky. Yesterday, we went Location scouting, and that was really different from Sightseeing, because honestly it's quite weird that you start to look at the city as one giant movie set. You don't see it like "oh wow, this is pretty, I should take a picture of that." no. you see it like "oh wow, that' is awesome, that will make such a great camera angle, and oh look at the composition and look at those girls sitting on those couches, are they chained there, no, no way... oh wait I'm in the red light district. Okay. Wait. Really?"

Laters peeps!

Sounds nuts... but don't you mean "Epcot Center"?
