Funny.

Disturbing.

Rhetorical question. where the hell is Matt ? he is back in seattle. but the more important thing is not where is he now, but where has he been ????

Here’s a video:

here’s his website :
Where the hell is mike
this is an excellent website.

some of his quotes about
Singapore:

I’m struck with a small epiphany. The distinction between Singapore and its airport is a minor one. The entire country feels like one very large departure lounge; spotlessly clean, no distinct smells, climate-controlled, no one is poor, lots of shopping, no real culture, pleasant enough for the moment, but not a place you want to stay very long.

This makes sense. The city was founded to be a gateway. It is between places, and somehow immune to the realities of true placehood.

I was planning to buy the Sony DSC-P8. I found a guy who gave me a good price on it, but then started steering me over to the Canon Powershot 230. He made a mean pitch. He showed me both cameras side by side and the Canon’s quality was clearly superior. I made the switch. Then he started with the razzle dazzle.

”You want 128 MB card?”
”Yes.”
”You need leather case so you don’t scratch it.”
”Okay.”
”One battery not enough. You need extra.”
”Absolutely.”
”Underwater case goes down 30 meters. Very good.”
”Help.”
”Transfer to laptop not fast enough with USB. I give you this card reader. Much better.”
”Love me.”

He sold me the whole pile for $1000 Singapore dollars. That’s about $560 US. It wasn’t the 
best price I could’ve gotten, but considering I was under mind control and completely at his mercy, I did okay. When it was all through, we cried together, hugged, and said goodbye. I had seen the light. I’d been baptized. Everything looked different after that.

I am inspired. very very inspired.
