Singapore

I'm Working in Singapore this week, so I figured why not try my luck at the poker tables in the biggest Hotel in the neighborhood.

Okay, at the entry I get refused because I'm carrying a plastic bag. Right, I say to myself, no worries, these Singaporeans are easily scared, and after all, this is a very dangerous looking plastic bag, I could easily choke 12 people with it before they catch me. I can see why Plastic bags containing a t-shirt is considered extremely dangerous.

After 30 minutes of waiting for 10 people to hand in their bags it's my turn and I'm getting impatient. Okay, off I go to the entry...

Nope not yet: there is a 50 people queue that is moving very slowly forward. After 15 minutes I make it to the Casino floor.

It's huge, thousands of people could get in, but there are only a few hundred. Right, keen to play poker I ask where the poker pit is at to one of the employees.

- Mate, where can I find the poker tables

- ah? Pokah no hee.

- What's that mate, no Poker?

- djes djes, pokah no hee.

- This is a Casino, right?

- djes.

- Okay well, where the bar?

- No Bah hee.

- Say what? No bar? wtf man?

- No Bah hee, no alcohol allad, only watta.

- Right, that's it, bugger this I'm outta here. 

So after having to wait another 20 minutes to get my leathal plastic bag back, I decide never to come back and take the elevator to the roof. The Infinity pool and sky park are stunning and I enjoy a beer staring at Singapore.
