(sorf) I'm taking a pack of herbs off the rack and a 40-something guy in a polo t-shirt and shorts asked me what it was. Had to say I don't know but it's something my mom uses in herbal chicken soup. Think it's bamboo...

Government within walking distance
Date: 19 July 2007
Time: 1523 hrs
Place: Suntec City bus stop
(sorf) A very well dressed lady with big sunglasses, big hair and paisley shawl asked me at the Suntec City bus stop if bus 36 goes to City Hall. I said I wasn't sure and that you could walk to City Hall. She said she's changing buses.

Follow the 'O'

Place: Banquet food court, Selegie
(sorf) We had just come home from up north with a load of donuts for our donut-crazed friend. One of the students from the next table at the food court came over to ask where we got the Dunkin' Donuts from. The really should bring it back!

Say you are a visitor from another country. You don't know the roads. So you do the smart thing -- you get a card from the hotel with a map so that you can show this to the cab driver and he can bring you to the right place. Isn't this the minimum you could expect?
A taxi pulled up to me (I was waving trying to get one myself), and there was a very confused looking auntie sitting behind with her daughter. She had said card with said map and still the driver asked me where the hotel Strand was. How useless can a cabbie be?
I told him that he was on the wrong street and that Victoria Street was the next one over.
