So we land in Singapore after a few weeks at sea and want beers and Thai girls. We hit the land and hail a cab and say dude: Thai girls and beers. Take us there! Cabbie says right. Thai girls and beers. We end up on an expressway of some sort, following another cab with fellow shipmates, and there is traffic and lane closures. Cabbie dude, in an effort to keep up with the front cab, totally blows through safety cones and lane closures and keeps pace. We are like what the ****? We end up on front cabbie's ass and are leaving city proper and I say to the driver: Dude: Thai girls and beers, right? Him: Yes. Thai girls and beers. We end up in bum **** egypt and I said to my shipmates we are getting scammed and getting taken for a ride. We are still behind the front cab and end up going up a mountain. I see a sign for Singapore Zoo and all of a sudden it totally ****ing clicks with me. We said we wanted Thai girls and beers but he thought we meant tigers and bears. What can you say? You can't make shit like this up. We did like the zoo though. Saw my first komodo dragon live and in person.
