Random pictures

Here are a few random pictures for you guys. The first are the flowers outside the apartment. I don't know what they're called, they grow in clusters of about 5 or so of these (and they're large) per stem. I will try and get a picture of the cluster, they're really pretty when they're all alive. (Mom - please make sure Dad sees them. Thanks!)



The second picture is for you, Jon. I just sort of thought you'd like it. It's from the dollar store. They're plastered all over the shop and they make me laugh every time I see them. Mathew recoiled in horror when I was "touristy" and took a picture of it, but I had to. Here you are:



Here is a bread car. The very first Formula 1 Night Race ever in the world is occurring here in Singapore and this is a commemorative bread car. You can buy it, or the smaller version which is a pastry car. The pastry car (which you can see a little on the shelf below) is $2.50, I don't know how much this one is.



And finally, here is a kitty cat. We have seen about 3 feral cats here that all live right by the apartment, across the street by the food centers. Not a one of them has a full sized tail, and this one has half an ear, as well. I've seen this one twice, he was sleeping in the middle of nowhere both times - this photo he was sleeping on a walkway, the other time I saw him he was sleeping on a table. People seem to like him - we saw some grown men make kissy noises at him in a nice way, so clearly not all Chinese folk like to eat cats. Remarkably, all three cats I saw were reasonably large.
