Out and Under in Singapore

[livejournal.com profile] mana_trini  has just headed out into the wilds of Singapore to hunt down skate parks and graffiti. Sadly, I'm feeling under the weather*, something I think I picked up in a hostel in Sydney, and need a day of rest in the hotel. We fly to Thailand tomorrow, and then begins our month-long jaunt across Southeast Asia. That's not a long time to visit four countries (Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia), so I need to get my strength back.

So, on my agenda for this afternoon:

- reading (Karen Miller's Empress of Mijak, which I recommend, even though I still have 200 pages to go. I just discovered this writer and I like her writing A LOT thus far. I love the world she has created and how fully her characters are a part of that world.)
- brainstorming for Witherwilds. Brainz, you may be getting a request for feedback from me. We'll see what I can come up with on my own first.
- moving my iPhoto library to an external drive to clear up some space on my Mac. (We have over 9,800 photos)  
- repacking my sack for tomorrow. Only allowed 15kg per person on the flight to Bangkok.

* Speaking of weather, I talked about it being humid in Sydney, but I had no call to complain.  It's ten times worse here in Singapore, and the rainy season is at an end.

9,800 pictures!!! Wow. That camera's been getting a workout!

Thanks for the writer recommendation. I'll have to add her to my tottering TBR pile. :)

It's been lovely to see you on chat the last few nights. Enjoy Asia! Wave at Pakistan for me if you fly over it from India. *hugs*

Yes, we have too many photos. And can you believe that I often go through and cull some?

I believe Miller is an Aussie. The start of the book is pretty...hmmm, dark, but it lets you get to know the MC and to understand her more.

And yeah, I can't believe how easy it is to chat when I'm in this part of the world (may's the only one I have a harder time catching.)

Maybe you should just stay in SE Asia then. ;)
