This is one way of letting others know what you are up to. Lucky no further details from this "lamp-poster" are known.

Modern Art

Went to this art exhibtion. This one is called "Halo". See the halo on top of the roll?? The artist says this symbolises one's life. It is all going down the tubes...Took him ages to drape the paper the way he wanted with the 2 folds as these symbolise turns in life.

Selling price: 20 000 USD. Want?

Toilet signs around the world

This is almost as cute as the traffic light man in Kuala Lumpur. I found this in the Baiyoke Sky Hotel, 82nd Floor in the restaurant. You should have seen the sign for the female toilets (LOL).

One night in Bangkok - And a day in Jakarta

We went to Jakarta for a day-trip yesterday. What fun we had.

Upon departure we got to know that there is a departure tax. Needless to say that we spent all our cash. Now, in many other countries this would not be a problem. You simply pay by credit card. In Indonesia that doesn't work. The banks close at 3:00pm, so no chance to get money there. We got out of that dilemma with the help of a gentleman also living in KL...

We paid him several rounds of beer and his money upon arrival back home.

Nicole got a wrong stamp from the immigration officer. She was "overstaying" as the passport was stamped, reflecting she is allowed to stay until 31 August. What a fun country!

Then again, they seem to be on a mission to kick all Super and Hypermarkets out of business by creating the next level of shopping: the Shopping town!!

They are all animals here!

I am staying with Floyd and Farah (again). Floyd has helped us a lot with advise, board and food, writing and whiskey.

As we are heading to Robert's birthday party last night, Floyd turns around to the taxi driver and asks him what the big hoo-haa is all about... "Formula 1"... Floyd says:"They must all be animals. Or why the cages?".

This morning I found out that I am not doing enough sports, drink to much of the wrong liquids and perhaps eat too fatty. Floyd is 20 years older and outran me this morning. Depressing. For me. Next time I am here: Revenge.

Down South again next week

Next week it is Singapore. Got an assignment from a client and will be heading over. As usual, I will be staying the my favorite Editor (no names please). Hopefully, we can finally go for a jog, as we have planned for the past 3 years.

Funny thing: when you walk around Taiping (Malysia) people wave at you and say hi if you are a stranger to town... They must love tourists.

GI Joe the movie?

In the 90s we used to go to the cinema every week. I still like to see a good show on the big screen. Kind of different. With all the surround sound, the lights dim and popcorn and such.

Nowadays it is quite rare to find a good movie. Somehow it seems that Hollyschutt has lost the ability to come up with good plots. Look at Heat: 6 different stories interwoven. Tight. Smart and an "believable" story. This could really happen. And the shoot-out at the bank is amazing! One of the few movies that actually convince the audience that there are weapons in the game.

Next big blockbuster (HA!) is GI Joe. What is next? Mikado - The Movie? Monopoly 1,2 and 3? Or Checkers (Dame) as a soap opera? Movie adapatations of board games? Better to watch a bucket of paint dry up. I am going to bed now to see the rise of another Cobra.
