Formula One

After three weeks abroad, it was time to stay home for a weekend in Singapore. But, by no means did that mean a quiet weekend. The F1 was in town, so the city was abuzz - AND I had my first visitor! The visit was a fantastic excuse to see some of the city - including Arab Street (the best shopping in town - forget orchard road) and Sunday Brunch (people will tell you to go to Raffles, but you really can't beat the Swiss Hotel - it's on the 70th floor!).

And, finally, the event itself was awesome. I'm not exactly a car buff, but it's hard not to get caught up in the event. The earth shakes when the cars go past. You can feel it through your body!

To finish off the night, we checked out a free live concert by the backstreet boys. To put it briefly, there's a reason why their concerts are free now.
