Thunderstorm Cooldown

Washington DC — clydes, friends, happy hour, pho, rain, thunderstorm, traffic, us-food

Probably one of the few times you’ll hear me say, “I’m so glad it’s raining”. That’s because after these flash-flooding, zero-visibility, majestic thunderstorms, the temperature was going to drop.

Once again I’m back in DC to have lunch with a friend. This time, it was at The Hamilton, a place where I imagine all the power lunchers congregate.

I was heading to the National Air and Space Museum in Virginia when I noticed I forgot my camera. These days I hate driving and to head back was not what I preferred. Plus it was getting hot and the AC in my car was barely keeping up. So, I decided to go shopping. It

After a night of fun and a morning of recovery, it was time to head to Loch Raven Skeet & Trap Club. There was a competition there this weekend. Luckily it was only on Saturday. On Sunday, there was plenty of room for us. If you’ve never fired a shotgun before, I have to say,

Singapore — hawker center, muslim quarter, night safari, shopping, zoo

It was the last day in Singapore and there were two things on the agenda, fill my half empty suitcase with some hip Asian clothes and then go on a nocturnal adventure with Singapore’s wild life. One out of two ain’t so bad right? Please disregard my tears. I read about Haji lane and was
