Singapore really is the land of the unexpected. No matter how familiar I think something will be, it always turns out to be "...not what I expected...". Whether it is a toy museum or a chicken sandwich or Japanese ramen or a black & tan or "Hawaiian Pizza", it always seems to be 3 degrees to the left of what I thought it would be.
This seems to be the case with food, more than anything really, but it is also the case with other things. I've had cab drivers refuse tips, wait staff that stands behind you, patiently & politely but not about to leave, until you pay the bill and "American Breakfast" that is, again, 3 degrees left of what we'd really eat back in the States.
It's all similar, but just different enough to make you really miss or crave some basic things from your life back home. It all ends up being more surreal due to the similarities, rather then the differences.
Anyway, just some thoughts for the evening.
