Singapore: January 28 /

January 28 2010 -Eric: Singapore! We were there for the end of 2009 and the start of 2010! It's only the end of January, but it seems like that was a million years ago...traveling really distorts your perspective of time to say the least. Singapore is such a brilliantly bizarre place with it being essentially a giant social engineering experiment which is quite an amazing thing to see in action. It's also a refreshing change in pace from the rest of South East Asia, not that the rest is awfully hard to travel in, but Singapore is so crazy efficient it's very easy to get around and I can't think of a single place in the world I have ever been that is even near as clean as Singapore. Aside from malls and air conditioning the country is light on actual attractions, but good lord it's worth going for the food alone! Any ways, check out these videos and pictures from our week or so there.

At the moment we are around 25 days into our Indonesian visit and tomorrow we will be waking up at 3am to watch the sun rise over the volcano Gunung Merapi. Wish us luck on our long hike. While in Indonesia we have done some really amazing things (ahem...dragon hunting!) and it's defiantly been a month full of big ups and weird unexpected frustrations. We have quite a bit of video ready to upload, we just have to hunt down reasonable internet in which to do it with. I hope you're all looking forward to the videos as much as we are to sharing them.

We think that next week we will be headed back to Thailand for a day or two before taking a train into Laos, but we have yet to make a certain decision. Ok, enough chatter, here's the Singapore content:
