SINGAPORE GIANT FAKE ANIMAL TOUR 2011: STATUE BY DAY, DISCO BY NIGHT

So here’s what a Merlion looks like in the daytime.



And here’s what it looks like at night.



Disco!

A decade ago they used to have a night show where the Merlion would shoot lasers out of its eyes across the island. I’m not sure if they still do that. I would hope so.

FUN FACT: It’s not just a statue. For a small fee you can go inside it, climb up a staircase and look out of its mouth.

SINGAPORE GIANT FAKE ANIMAL TOUR 2011: FITTING THE PANDA

I got no more Merlion material (unless you want to see his monorail).

But I do have a candid shot of a giant panda having his hands attached by assistants.



Explanation: there’s a Universal Studios theme park on Sentosa. So I assume it’s related to Kung Fu Panda.

GODZILLA DOES NOT NEED YR PITY

Which I’m posting not because I feel sorry for Godzilla, but because I’m off to Japan tomorrow for a week of more telephones-related shenanigans.

Specifically, I’ll be in Fukuoka, a city I’ve never been to before. And while it’s a business trip, it’s also my first trip to Japan in six years. I’ve missed it. It’ll be nice to go back. Also, the bridal unit will be going with me, which will be nice.

My dance card is pretty full, so livebloggery will be sporadic. But if LJ gets hit by another DDoS attack, you won’t notice anyway.

Off to save Japan,
