tourists

For the last day I've been acting like a tourist running all over town seeing the sites. My friend Joe is in town for a little over a week so I've become a tour guide since I'm a 'local' here now. It's been such a long time since I've been out seeing a lot of the tourist sites and this is kind of a good time since the city is really getting ready for National Day on August 9th... it's so patriotic. I guess people like to hang flags out here and the govn't just changed the law to allow people to hang the flag outside their windows without a pole for a whole extra month.

Joe found some Singapore tourists shop and wanted to buy some things...

Singapore Tourist Heaven! This place had every kind of trinket you could ever imagine...especially if you were to imagine like 500 types of key chains and shot glasses.
...

This one was an interesting souvenir I found sitting there on the shelf right next to the merlion key chains. I'm not exactly sure what it was or why it was there but I guess it must help create a lasting memory of Singaore... maybe?
