The world's biggest laundromat
Singapore is one big shopping centre, a collection of interconnecting 'travellators' and shops complete with attendees and perfumed air at every corner. I even had the privilege of relieving myself whilst an old man sat outside, no doubt to ensure that my brief legacy to Singapore's toilets did not linger too long. Thankfully, I obliged. It pays to have bran in your diet!
Right now I'm waiting for my connecting flight to Cairo. In the hiatus I have gained key insights into the mating habits of a certain tree ant (sorry, I forgot to catch the name, wasn't really paying that close attention).
Singapore is so strangely clean and straight and generic that you could be forgiven for not knowing that it is an Asian nation.

Hi there
I gather you will be in Cairo by the time you read this - just out of time for their Exercise in Democracy. And about to witness the experiences of the poor and the marginalised at the same time as Uncle Sam's belated, and no doubt shortlived, recognition of the poverty and marginalisation within.
Look forward to hearing more soon, my friend.
PS Does your blog title refernce Casablanca?
Yo Mikey, good to hear from ya!
The 'House Negro' title comes from a Malcolm X speech. See 'Message to the grassroots' link in the 'Required Reading' section of my blog. :-)
