Singapore Orchard rd & IT fair (3 Comments)

English text below

In questo video faccio un giro pe rla famosa Orchard road, una grossa strada che taglia grossi alberghi e palazzi commerciali, con numerosissimi centri commerciali ai primi piani. Tutto interconnesso e intercondizionato, nel senso che se vuoi, al massimo fai 50 metri nel caldo tropicale. La marcia è culminata all’Hard Rock cafe, dove volevo mangiare ma mi sono ridotto al solo acquisto della spilletta di rito, vista la mole di commensali awanagana che si strafogavano dei loro monopiatti titanici.

A fine giornata sono tornato nel centro, City Hall, e ho seguito una massa di gente, un fiume di occhi a mandorla e capelli a sezione tonda, fino alla fiera dell’Informatica, che come dico nel video, rappresenta secondo me l’Asia in una delle sue forme più estreme.

Upapa fa tagliare dalle risate, sembra pugliese…

This is a video of me roaming around Singapore, especially Orchard road. This is the most famous street in this island made of business and shopping, willing to become a leisure paradise. Orchard rd. cuts rows of huge hotels, with malls on the first floors. Impressive, but quite sterile, nothing to see really. Air conditioning everywhere, sometimes in tunnels from building to building, to try and escape the heat.

I took a stroll that culminated in the Hard Rock Cafè, for lunch initially, but that became the usual acquiring of the souvenir pin, after all the awanaganas eating the hell out of their huge portions of good ol’ junk food. Then I got underground to reach City Hall and the center. A river of asians where going the same way, so I joined in and bumped in one of the biggest IT fairs in Asia, annual in Singapore. I was like a kid in a candy store, but it was mayhem really. Mind boggling.

      Exactly what I thought Bee!!!
      I imagined being there with Andrew, it would be a cracker!
      There must be something between the name andrea and the love for gadgets. I know plenty of other Andrew/andrea loving the big boys toys (-:D
