Top picture is on the corner of Orchard and Scotts Roads. The sign on the post tells people to 'wait for the green man' - good advice since the cars in this community careen around like nobody's business - changing lanes and honking at each other. And don't even get me STARTED on the motorcycles...Holy shit! The really weird thing about Singaporean Death Wish Driving, tho, is that we have seen not one traffic accident or heard one siren since we have been here. And the fire station is directly below our window. Unbelievable...Middle picture is in front of the Prada Store. People are out there all the time, pointing, laughing and taking pictures of each other standing with these silly things. It has great local appeal. Do not ask me why. I think they may be secretly making fun of us....
Last photo is the quad at the school Andrew will be attending. Very interesting place. Huge, actually. We went out there the other day and took a look around. We went out to the fields and while we were there heard these air raid sirens. Turns out it had to do with lightning being within 'striking distance.' The locals were under cover, watching us out there among the metal poles. I understand the highest number of lightning strikes in the world is in Singapore. Mostly frying the Americans, probably.....
