Is the Mer-rion Very Near?

after more than a week, i finally get to blog because there was a problem with the proxy settings. apparently, those who have problems like mine were Singnet users. Wanna know more just visit my journal in my multiply.

anyway i felt like a "moving information counter" today. i was at VivoCity with my friend just hanging out when 3 people of different nationalities came to me asking about how to get to a place they wanted to go.

one was a Japanese, asking how much to take a 'car' (which actually means taxi) to go to Changi Airport and is $20 enough for the ride. so i said its more than enough but taking the MRT is cheaper. He said that he knew about the Subway can bring them to the airport at a cheaper price. he also asked whether the "mer-rion" that he described as "the water fall down from the mouth" is nearby and a good place to take pictures. so i said that its very near from VivoCity.

then after my lunch i went out of Harbourfront and this guy which sounded weird, i couldn't guess his accent but most probably he's a non-English speaking European asking how to go to Sentosa. i told him to go to VivoCity and take the monorail. he didn't know what is a monorail. i said its a small train. then he asked is it the Subway and i said no, its a train in VivoCity. he asked where is it and i said its at the 5th floor. he said what floor, cos he didn't understand what is floor. so i said its at the 5th level. the problem is i didn't know if its at the 5th level, i just guess. heheh.

the third one was an Indonesian, he said where's the bus stop to go to Jurong. at first i showed him to take at the Bus interchange across the road but my friend corrected me and said its not across the road. then i remembered there's a bus stop just in front of VivoCity so i pointed him at the bus stop. after he walked away about 50 metres from where i was sitting, he turned and looked at me while pointing to the bus stop that i pointed to him just now. then he asked another man at the junction and the man showed him the same bus stop that i pointed.
