7/10/12 - 48 hours and counting.....
We've officially been in Singapore for 2 days now.  Feels a lot longer due to the day you lose when flying over as well as all we have done in those two days.  Random thoughts on what we have learned so far:

1. We are going to sweat ...... A Lot.  Shorts and sandals are quite comfortable, but dress pants and a button up shirt make for a drippy walk and MRT ride into work.

2. The city is the inverse of Minneapolis.  Sure there is the obvious that it is on the other side of the world and the temperature never really changes (hot/humid).  However, instead of skyways above ground to keep you warm in winter there are 3-4 story walkways and malls below ground to keep everyone cool.  Yes, I've gotten lost just as many times in them as I did in the skyways back in the Twin Cities.

3. Sticker shock. Everything is expensive.  Case in point, we kept seeing happy hour signs "1 for 1" and actually believed that it just meant prices at happy hour were normal prices and we didn't even want to know what they were the rest of the time.  Turns out "1 for 1" here is the same as a "2 for 1" in the States.  And that still means you pay $12 for two bottles of beer instead of 1.

Today's adventures are going to include doing laundry in a washing machine that has a front view the size of an airplane window, learning how to use a rice cooker and hopefully finding a more permanent place to live.  One can only live so close to the high end shops on Orchard Road for so long (especially with my wife).
