Glimpses from Southeast Asia

Posted by Nerdyy

So here I am in mid February with a couple of weeks off and racing away from a bitterly cold hometown temperature of 9F to spend the time off in some sun, and catching up with relatives that live in Asia. Transiting through a very festive Hong Kong airport on Chinese Lunar New Years day, I end up a few hours later in the City of the Lion :D


Saara Shehar Mujhe LOIN ke naam se jaanta hai 

 ... or Merlion as he is correctly called - a mx between a fish and a lion. (I can almost hear someone screaming at me - "you and your Ajit jokes" - to her I would say this is an original Ajit dialogue - not a joke :P)

The city is hot and humid - so you do need to hydrate yourself from time to time - and what better way than to head over here:

Raffles Hotel - home of the Singapore Sling
And if you feel peckish head over to one of many joints serving this:

Chilli Crab
.... and no - the Chilli Crab hasnt affected my brain :D
