Club 7

This is where Josh and I hang out when we are feeling cheap. There is a lawn (which is part of an office complex, but no one seems to mind) across the street from our local 7-11 (you might think that 7-11 isn't very Thai, but you would be ever so wrong). So we buy beers at the store and then lay in the grass and drink beer and talk about how we don't ever want to go home. I'm sure if we spent too much time here we would discuss how we wanted to go home, but we haven't gotten to that point yet.

7-Eleven is Awesome.

Do not argue with me on this. I love it so much. While I would rather get shot than wander into a McDonald's overseas, I love 7-Eleven. It's such a snap shot of what is important in the country that it is in. According to 7-Eleven, Singapore cares about Hello Kitty, Fashion Magazines, Maps, Mints but not Chewing Gum, and Mobile Telephones. They do not care about, for example, Hot Dogs, like the Thais seem to, or Tequila, like the Mexicans do.

Bestow upon me your air conditioned goodness, a newspaper, a cup of coffee, and a reminder that all is right in the world.
