Krispy Kreme Day

In true Singaporean tradition, I'll be showcasing some of the food I'm eating in Ann Arbor.

Today is about Krispy Kremes, the only true donut to queue up for. Donut Factory is very very pale imitation of what Krispy Kremes are about.

Now, I can't get fresh KKs in AA, but these are the next best thing: Half-dozen (that's 6 to you non-Americans) KKs for $2.99 ($3 say $3 lah... $2.99 for what?). What's even better is a DOZEN KKs for $4! ($3.99). In the interests of calorie control, I have elected to pass on the dozen.

Room update: Finally set up most of the things I wanted to do. I'm really glad that I planned for a 3 day car rental because the $200 bought me lots of convenience: Managed to purchase my mattress and have it delivered, bought linens and pillows and visited IKEA in a nearby township all in a single day. As a result, most of my necessary furnishings were in the apartment by Wed. Bought a vacuum to clean up the place as well, but it's terribly loud and noisy.

There's some outstanding matters I have left to do: Check in with the International Students center to complete my visa and immigration procedures, and to check that the money from my SG Citibank account has been successfully TTed (wired) to my US bank account.

The weather here is remarkably like Singapore: about 30-31 degrees in the day with huge sunshine, and 24-25 degrees at night (office aircon levels). It even rains here on a daily basis: short, intense bursts of rain.
