Spare Bedroom
So um, for the record, Carly and I do indeed have a spare bedroom. The reason you may not know about the "spare bedroom" is because we never posted a picture of it when we put up the photos of the apartment back in August sometime. The reason (see picture below):
So as you can see, this spare bedroom isn't exactly our pride and joy. That being said, we promise that we'll have it cleaned up for the first friend or family member to come and visit. Any takers?
What else - dinner last night. Cheap food example. We went to the hawker about a 10 minute walk from the school, we had 2 large plates of food consisting of cabbage, green beans, curry, rice, chicken, porkchop and potatoes for S$2.50/each, and had a plateful of 15 chicken satay skewers that came with a bunch of chopped cucumber and 2 bowls of awesome peanut/pineapple dipping sauce for S$5.20... We couldn't eat it all. Dinner for 2, S$10.20 (give or take CDN$7.75).
Mind you, we went out on Sunday night with another couple to an amazing Mexican place down on Clarke Quay. Carly had some Beef Tortilla's, and I got hooked up with a Pork Enchilada (YUM). We drank water, although there were bottles of Tequila available for prices as high as S$2400. Their specialty dessert was homemade avocado ice cream which was off the charts and unbelievably delicious. Dinner for 4 was around S$150.
So you can eat cheap, or you can eat pricey, all depends on what you want.

Dan and Carly!
it’s debbie calling out from Ecuador! Krista hooked me up with your blog, and quite honestly, you two are giving me a new perspective on a country i thought i once knew. it make me wanna go again…but the heat…OHHHHH the HEAT!
avocado ice cream eh? we have that here too….i was hesitant to try that…but after your recommendation, i’ll try that next!
have you guys tried durian yet? you either love it or hate it. maybe try the durian ice cream first
and if you haven’t tried yet, grab some “laksa” – it’s like a curry dish with noodles. and try a mangostene (purple fruit with white flesh!)
im still looking into a co-op position in Singapore sometime next year… who knows!
my parents are in Singapore right now. they are staying at my uncle’s house in …at Ponggal Center…dunno if that’s close to you or not.
anyways, good blog. i’ll be checking regularly.
