Quantum, Cube-shaped, and Cameras

Barry and I did some museum-ing lately. Here is his brain learning about quantum mechanics:
We went to another special exhibit.
Several of our questions were answered.
Yup, a whole educational exhibit on poo!
In the cheeky fart chamber, you press the butts to make a sound, while learning key fart facts.
Singapore's toilet history is rich and speedy, but they didn't have mention the night soils.

We also went to the Camera museum, which is a little dryer.
There are a lot of cameras, about which I learnt some things, fleetingly.
In completely unrelated news, Santa had a bit of a tough year this year on Orchard Rd. I think he has a back injury due to heavy snow.
Potentially this cabbie did too - with the 5 flavours of Absolut displayed on the dash.
Barry has been practicing his magic card tricks, and is seen here with an enraptured audience.
He was also serenaded with a sax, and failed not to look awkward.

Mushrooms, Embedded Buddhas, and Conical Food Stands

Barbara and Gilles visited, and it rained so much that mushrooms showed up everywhere!
We got educated at the fabulous multimedia sensory Singapore Bicentennial experience, where Barbara got a crush on Sir Stanford Raffles (you can call him Bingley, if you're close).
We learnt about traditional agriculture too!
We also visited the model of Singapore. Here's our condo, including pools to scale.
Barbara showed appropriate reverence for the Big Buddha and his tiger guard.
Even as we go to go into his butt, where there is a secret reclining Buddha that you're not allowed to photograph.

I hung out with the "Shoplifting is a Crime" guy and his extra-smooth skin.
And we checked out some Engrish shirts.
Then it was time to eat. 

Here, Gilles shows the correct way to food selfie.
There was a touch of fire, into which Barry and Barbara leaned.
And we finished it off with some conical food stands.
