Personally, my life wasn’t upended because of Trump and Kim. But I did receive a call from a relative asking me if he could drop off some stuff at my place for another relative to pick up. It seems he couldn’t get to this other relative who was staying near the hotel where Trump resided. The area had been cordoned.
They’ve blocked some roads starting from the airport from the day the two world leaders arrived, and also created a radius of cordon around the two hotels where Trump and Kim are staying. Apart from heavy police presence, they’ve also got the military out to protect the two big shots, with some stationed on Sentosa Island where the summit is being held.
It’s a good plug for Singapore; lots of world press etc, but it’s going to cost her $20 million as this article proves. https://www.straitstimes.com/
The doctored image shows local sentiments. “Rojak” is a delicacy of deep-fried dough with chili while “Tek Tarik” is tea with milk made by pouring and pulling between two mugs. You can see how the tea is done here on YouTube. The servers in the cartoon are the PM of Singapore and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
And of course everyone seems excited about the court jesters (Trump and Kim impersonators, I mean) who are also here.
The weather has been topsy-turvy these days. I wish it was snowing.
