From travel (at) sneaker.net Thu May 17 10:53:21 2001 Date: Sat, 12 May 2001 23:58:15 GMT From: "Nathan J. Mehl, Road Worrier" <travel (at) sneaker.net> To: memory (at) blank.org Subject: the next hop Well damn, I just spent 15 minutes typing out a long travelogue on Singapore, hit the send button and lost the whole thing to a session timeout. Teach me to be verbose. Feh. Okay, the short form: it's 7:45am, and I'm at Singapore airport. This will probably be the last message from me for a couple of days: we're about to catch a flight to Siem Reap, Cambodia, and it's rather doubtful that there will be any internet access there. We'll be in Bangkok in about 4 days, and I'll resume contact then. If Singapore has a non-disneyfied side, 24 hours is not long enough to find it. I spent the morning poking through Orchard Road, the main shopping drag, and then the afternoon and evening tagging along with Miranda and her agency contacts here as they went on a tour of the city and a night safari, and the whole time kept looking around corners in a desperate attempt to find the one unattended pile of litter or bit of graffiti. No luck. Sigh, I think my flight is going ot start boarding soon, so I'm going to have to do the real Singapore report later. It's worth mentioning that everybody I met yesterday kept commenting on how unseasonably nice the weather was: it was "merely" in the high 80s/low 90s farenheit, with about 90% humidity. I suspect that I am going to have to be blotted up and carried out of Cambodia in a sponge. Talk at you all in a few days, -Nathan
