I’m trying to use technology as much as possible in my new environment (Singapore), and it’s not working well out that well for me. I have no useful Internet connection, my Nokia N95’s GPS locks in just in time for the journey to finish, and I’m eating off the tops of plastic containers.
Otherwise everything is going well. I’ve just been trying Streetdirectory.com’s useful tool, for example, for arranging trips by public transport. I know I’m not in tiptop condition, but I was slightly unnerved by this step in the nine-step process of going from one part of the island to the other:
You need to walk to Simei Avenue – blk 3012, (Stop Number: 96101) which is 54250m away.

By my calculations, that’s a more than 33 mile walk. And I thought Singapore was only 30 miles wide. No wonder everyone here looks fit. And slightly wet.
I think I might take a cab.

In order to get even fitter, try pushing the mall door while the guy in front of you is doing the same. Lots of action guaranteed š
Still, it’s good that you’re not trying to reach a hospital or something.
