Singapore Diaries, part II [Mowgli]
We now rejoin our story in progress...
Johny Walker wins the advertising contest, hands down. Its not just that they have the full length of all the travelators decorated with JW ads. That's pretty good, but the deciding factor is their store-sized station in the main terminal. They have some kind of golf promotion stuff, and hundreds of square feet with displays of scotch. Lots and lots of it.
I had to search for a new free internet terminal. The one I wrote part I on was equiped with a jittery little optical mouse the size of a gnome's cellphone, with a recently polished and greased scroll wheel. Anyway, I found a place with free internet and free XBox live. Free XBox live sounded like a good deal, but as it turned out every station was full. Every station, that is, except Halo 2. Nobody wants that here either, apparently. I briefly considered it, then wandered around more. After drinking a Pepsi Ice (slight flavor of mint, strong flavor of ass) and looking through cds, I came back only to find that the live component didn't work. It was in japanese too, so I gave up on troubleshooting. Then I headed for the free internet, which brings us up to date. Now, to find snacks that aren't prawn flavored...
This concludes the second installment. Stay tuned for the final explosive chapter, coming soon to a brog near you!
