It is very interesting to see how Singapore is getting ready for the F1 race.... I had been in other cities during the Grand Prix... but I never saw something like the things they are doing here... just in the center of the city.

Very expensive dolls


During the weekend I went to a Comic fair here in Singapore and I saw a lot of things to buy and collect, but the thing that impressed me more are these Japanese dolls, they are very cool and also very expensive (around 300 dollars).

Remembering Brussels

Something that is very common in Belgium is that the electrical stairs in the subway are most of the time broken and they take months to fix them.... so yesterday walking here in Singapore I saw a broken electrical stair... lets see if they also take months to fix them....

Funny


Now that the H1N1 virus is in Singapore... around 900 cases so far.. the whole city is trying to create some awerness of it... so I was walking yesterday in one of the shopping malls and I saw the mascot of the Asian Youth Games (currently happening in Singapore) being prepared to fight the virus... funny....

Fixing the Merlion

As you might know in one of my previous posts I mentioned that the Merlion was hit by a thunder... anyway they are fixing it already... if I like something here in Singapore is that things are done fast and not take ages to get fix... I remember how long it take in Brussels to fix the electrical stairs in the metro

Interesting discovery

Another interesting thing I have seen here in Singapore is that they put a lot of attention in protection and security. You can see posters like this one in many places of the city and also in the metro they show some very scary video of some bomb attacks...

Anyway I think all this protections helps make Singapore one of the safest places to be... maybe some other cities should follow the same example...

Interesting discovery in the Royal Park

Yesterday I was walking by the Royal park in Brussels and I saw something that surprised me a lot... so I took a picture of it

This is a very interesting drawing and if I understand it well, is a soldier smashing the head of a guy and for me is a somebody from Africa (I remember from my trip to Egypt how the draw the African people).
It is funny to have this in the Royal Park in Brussels
If somebody has any other idea what the drawing means, please share
