Erin and I have now been in Singapore for almost a week. Our wonderful hosts Jesse and Jessi have allowed us to take our time exploring the city/country. We have seen a lot of sights and eaten some of the best food around. At this rate I will be out of travel funds, back home with a couple extra pounds in no time. Singapore is notoriously expensive, but the meals are well worth it. A great selection of Thai, Chinese, Indian and Malay foods. Most importantly I've enjoyed some of the best and most varied styles of beverages, which are much needed in the 90 degree winter weather. Along with the normal hot and strong coffee in the morning, I've now had sweetened iced coffee out of a bag and cold black coffee poured from a nitro keg. Craft beer isn't too hard to find here either, but with the high liquor tax your likely to spend $30 on a pretty standard bomber of American import. We've still let ourselves indulge, but the best treat so far was when Jesse came home from work with some Stone, Rogue and Ninkasi beers. I had to pour myself the Total Domination for a little flashback home to the beautiful beer region that is Oregon. Lime juice, coconut juice, mango lassi and "lemon-lime and bitters" have become new favorites as well.
It's my 25th birthday on Thursday and we will be heading north to Malacca, Malaysia on Friday. We have lots planned in the next 4 days but are excited to continue the journey. We are a day ahead of the US here so have a drink for me on Wednesday night, it'll be morning in Singapore but that doesn't mean I won't be enjoying some Jungle Beers by the pool at the same time.
