Welcome to Part 2 of our Singapore story! I’ll be writing this portion as I meet up with Jane for the end of her program. We then head to Osaka to visit Mio, our exchange student from last summer. For me, the first step was from our new home in Traverse City, MI. Beth and I are thrilled with our new digs, and have greatly enjoyed watching it take shape as we unpack and arrange everything. I can’t wait to return in a few weeks to see how much it will have shaped up under Beth’s direction. The Traverse City airport (Cherry Capital Airport) is tiny. For example, the United counter had three automated check-in kiosks, and two were out of service. But there were still only three people in front of me checking in, so the wait was negligible. Similarly, at Security, the longest part of the process was waiting for the conveyor belt to carry my bag from the bag scanner to the place where I could pick it up. And with the National Cherry Festival wrapping up the weekend prior, this is a busy ...

Where are Christopher Columbus’s Pants?

Having slept from takeoff to breakfast, I have nothing to report about the flight here.  It was entirely uneventful for me at least.  Immigration was equally uneventful, if not pleasant.  All of our bags arrived.  Our flight drama was apparently all concentrated on a single flight cancellation. Joel just stared at the map for the last hour of the flight.  We arrived!  Everyone’s first trip to the southern hemisphere.  Around 8 am, we arrived at the Doubletree feeling hungry and sleepy.  We didn’t cancel our hotel room for last night so we could immediately check in, shower and nap in our rooms before tackling the day. Croissants have been the theme of our trips, and finding one in Buenos Aires was a good omen.  Finding the best light for makeup.  Some of us were bothered by the drizzle more than others, but it quickly subsided.  We ventured out to exchange money, landing in an upscale mall.  Because Argentinian pesos are such a...

Animal Kaiser Plus Version 2

 Today Jane returned to language school after the weekend. Classes start at 12:30 so we had the morning to explore. We hadn’t explored one section of Orchard Road, so we went that way. There we found a new shopping center we hadn’t seen before, Centerpoint, which was much more mid-market than the ones further up the road. (There are a lot of shopping malls on Orchard Road.) we went in to check it out. The top floor was almost empty, but did have some foosball tables standing among the vast emptiness. We put our money in and played a game, during which Jane absolutely trounced me. Nearby was a video game neither of us had seen before; Animal Kaiser Plus. It looked like a fighting game between two animals, and featured “real animals from around the world” that could attack each other with lightning storms and body throws. It also had some sort of trading card component. Curious, we counted our change and played a game. As far as we could tell, it was mostly random - the type of attac...
