Fish Tales

My life in Singapore Taipei. And then some.

Ever get a hankering for Mickey D’s but didn’t want to move your butt off the couch? What to do… what to do? Well, it’s easy (for me). Because, in Singapore, McDonalds provides 24/7 delivery right to my doorstep. Actually, anyone’s doorstep.

After living here for nearly nine months, it was time to try this out. And it couldn’t be easier. Just place an order on their website. Wait 30 minutes. Answer the door. Eat.

Interesting find at the Kota Kinabalu night market tonight. And it still doesn’t answer my question about these types of knock-off goods. Are they manufactured fakes or did they simply “fall off the truck” somewhere along the way?

Did someone re-route this batch of shoes from the Nike factory after the apparent default was discovered. Or, were the knock-off manufacturers completely inept? So many questions…

Spot the fake.

We’ve all taken one of those urinal etiquette tests. You know the typical questions, “which urinal would you choose in a line-up of six, if the third and sixth positions are occupied?”. Easy, easy… the answers are inherently ingrained in guys’ minds. It’s almost instinct.

Question: Which urinal should be used in this situation?

Singapore Airport, Terminal 2

Singapore Airport, Terminal 2

Answer: There is no right answer. Proceed to a stall with a door.

What happens to the guy occupying urinal #2 if a weary traveler breaks rank and decides to use urinal #1? An awkward exit situation awaits, that’s for sure. Luckily, today, everyone knew the correct answer and proceeded directly to the stalls.

P.S. I’m sure I broke like 15 Singapore laws by taking this photo and I’m expecting to be either deported or heavily fined in the near future.

I must be getting old because I need to practice video games in order to save face with my nephew. It just doesn’t come as naturally to me as it used to. Sad, but true.

I’ve got less than three months until the big race. Wii Mario Kart to be exact. And I’m woefully behind because I’m lucky if I drive well on the easy levels. Plus, I’ve been getting reports that my nephew already mastered some of the most difficult levels. Yikes!

I need to figure out a way to cheat. It’s my only hope.
