| | So, the quick decline of Xanga (and blogging, in general) in my realm of friends is quite alarming. It's as if people have like... real jobs and real lives, now. But don't worry, I've still got my priorities straight. Since my last update.... (six months ago), a lot of life changes and experiences have occurred. Here's the first of five top big 'experiences' for 2007.
5. For my last spring break, ever, I went to visit my brother in Singapore. The city-state is infamous for it's strict government, but props to public canings, because it was also one heck of a clean metropolis. Here's a quick photographic rundown of my time there.
The Esplanade. Abe and I saw Rachael Yamagata at this concert hall. It's one of Singapore's most distinct and recognizable sites...
...Partly because it's modeled after one of Singapore's most famous fruits -
The Durian Fruit. The fruit is actually banned from the subways because when it's cracked open, it smells like a rotting armpit. Yum-oh.
I also got to hang out with Abe's friends from church. That's April and Andy, below.
We ate at this Indian Restaurant. It was an amazing meal up until the end, when I saw a huge mouse hop across the floor. I started to gag a little, so I went to the bathroom. When I opened the door, I discovered a bloody pad in the toilet.
And, what would a Josh Sung trip be without a multitude of touristy ventures - ranging from...
...a trip to the much over-rated Singapore Aquarium
to the kid-oriented Night
Safari. I would have more pictures from the zoo, but there was no flash
photography allowed. However, had I broken the rules like the person I googled this picture from, you would see me nervously standing next to this...
...a bat, like the one above, that was LITERALLY the size of cat. A cat with wings hanging upside down.
Towards the end of my break, Abe and I flew to Cambodia, home of the famous Angkor Wat temples, and even more importantly, the home of Maddox Jolie-Pitt.
Although there were no Angelina sightings, here's a montage of some pictures Abe took while we were in the temples of Siem Riep.
  
These ruins used to be the center of Hindu and Buddhist religion (depending on who was in power at the time). But now, they're more famously known as the ruins that Angelina Jolie skimped around in in Tomb Raider 2.
We also visited the Minefield Museum, a sobering look at the continuing destruction caused by the Khmer Rouge communist regime only a few decades ago.
  
Overall, the trip to Singapore and Cambodia was definitely a sweet experience, and a great way to spend my last Spring Break!
