Happy Thanksgiving

Well Thanksgiving seems to have come and past very quickly and for some odd reason it doesn't feel like its the Holiday season.  It might be because the temperature hasn't dropped below 80 degrees since I've arrive in Singapore, or it may be because this is my first Thanksgiving not surrounded by family, but regardless of the obvious difference between this Holiday season and the last, I have still been making the most of this amazing city and of course still having a Thanksgiving dinner.

The saturday before I went over to Jenny and Jessica's condo for the first Turkey day feast.  This Thanksgiving went from Turkey feast to Brazilian dance party.  Below is Jenny and myself and two girls whose names I can remember, they were just visiting

Pedro Negro, the bar that we went to on Arab street, happened to be hosting their annual festival, of what I don't know, but it sure was a lot of fun.  They had dancers parading down the street and loud Brazilian music!!  

 All of the Dancers were wearing large feather head dresses, haha

 Chris, Jessica and myself, having fun as usual :-) This was like my typical "night before thanksgiving shenanigans" but in a tropical climate.  Can't complain.

That night flew by of course and one might wonder how I managed to be productive the next day but somehow I managed to roll out of bed and go to a play...A Shakespeare play, lol, who would have thought.  Its amazing the things one will do to see Kevin Spacey.  He was performing in the Shakespeare  production of King Richard the 3rd.

 For not knowing any of the plot or understanding and of the Shakespearean language, I very much enjoyed myself.  Kevin Spacey is quite an amazing actor, and I must say I'm very excited to see him reenact my former job in the new movie Margin Call.  haha

The Show was at the Esplanade, a beautiful bubble shaped building right on the water.  The architecture is the most unique and progressive that I've ever seen.  This is just one of the many unique looking building in Singapore, but what makes this building more impressive is everything that you can find in it.  It is not just a "theater by the bay" its a giant mall, and a major transit center.  

 While my mom was here we actually went to go see an authentic Indonesian dance during a dance festival.  We had tried to see a Thai dance later that week but we ended up seeing the "Beyond the Dance" a detail explanation and break down of the dance, not exactly the most riveting event.
