Steaming ice cream, kind of cool. Grabbed this at dinner last night.Singapore is something else. Chewing gum? Illegal. Not flushing toilets? Illegal. Wearing shorts in the hotel restaurant? Illegal. Ok the shorts thing isn't quite true although I was instructed to go back to my room to change before I could eat.
Service appears to be quite important to these Asians, as evidenced by the following conversation I had while on the plane from Melbourne :
Them : "Excuse me, where are you from"
Me : "Chicago"
Them : "Sir are you to be addressed as His Excellency"
Me : "Um, no, you can call me Joe"
Them : "Oh no no no. It must be of formal designation"
Me : "Ok, Mr. McNamara works"
So everyone, please don't feel obligated to address me as "His Excellency". Except Megan. She can call me that from now on thanks.
His Excellency or Mr. McNamara, this post is your funniest yet. I read it out load to Greg tonight and we were both laughing hysterically. Good work. Great updates from your trip. Thanks for sharing.
