Well, I’ve been sampling the local fodder since I arrived and I have survived thus far. I learnt on my last trip (the hard way!) not to eat rice morning noon and night. If anything, I'll have to eat more rice!! It's hard to be a fussy eater out here, hunger being the best sauce and all!
The natives out here can be pretty shallow by all accounts (and judging by what I've seen so far), being even more into labels and badges than the Celtic tiger cubs (if you can believe that!). Also, they are mad into gadgets, always wanting the latest gizmo, be it a new mobile phone or whatever.
Unusual too is the proximity of the rich and poor. A rag and bone guy might be scraping by on about 350 Euro a month and be living pretty close to a coke snorting gambler, emm I mean stokebroker, on a few million a year. Not that coke snorting is a good idea anywhere, but especially not here! A Scottish guy got 8 years yesterday for having a little on him. Good enough for the idiot! I hope they don't like red heads in jail, for his sake!!!

That was quick - only posted it!Someone is up early (I presume!).
I think it's marginally more expensive than Pepsi, ha ha.
I'm not going to find out about the substance you're refering to, given what happened to the Scot!!
Remember kids - illicit drugs are for idiots and only cause more problems.
That concludes this public service announcement!
Hey Blog_Junky,
Get a life, you sad git. If you think that comment makes you cool, you're an idiot. Drugs kill and those who sell them are pure evil.
People who ask questions like that to try and appear cool deserve a long sentence in a Singaporean jail cell with a love starved cell mate.
