kenleewrites in 日本

The Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Ferry. What else am I missing?

RM1 per entry. Approximately ¥26. Includes a receipt which you can probably use to claim when whoever you claim from. And no, there wasn’t anyone in there waiting to help wipe your ass. But unlike most public toilets in Malaysia, this particular one at Low Yat was reasonably clean.

To date, I have paid twice to enter restrooms in Japan. Public toilets are 99.9% free. The two occasions I paid, I was hiking. Mt Fuji and Mt Tateshina. It was ¥100 per entry. But it was a public toilet in the middle of nowhere. There was no one guarding the doors and collecting money though. The ones that I’ve been to accept people to be honest.

And we are all honest aren’t we.

On a hot day, this is just heavenly. $5 for a bowl of Mango snow ice at Mei Heong Yuen in Chinatown. This is a little huge and I don’t think it’s meant for 1 to have alone. ^^.

This is the hottest new attraction in Singapore – Marina Bay Sands (MBS).

MBS is developed by Las Vegas Sands and features a 2,560-room hotel, a 120,000 sq.m. convention-exhibition center, The Shoppes mall, an Art and Science museum, two Sands Theatres, six “celebrity chef” restaurants, two floating pavilions and a casino with 500 tables and 1,600 slot machines.

That’s quite a mouthful. Couldn’t resist not visiting the place. Must say, I’m pretty impressed with the design. Looks rather futuristic don’t you think?

I don’t know… is anyone interested in what my iPhone ate in Singapore? One would be pretty hard-pressed to find these dishes in Tokyo. Prawn Mee at the Amara Hotel in Tanjong Pagar. Quite nice.
