一个城池，两个咖啡座

我个人比较喜欢欣赏冲绳较有特色的咖啡座。

要喝茶，必须先爬上这些梯级。。。

两层楼的茶屋果然与众不同，里面别有天地。

这个咖啡座特别的地方是有一个小画廊。画作都是画一些冲绳岛的古代生活情景，画风带有一点南洋画的色彩。

这个海滨咖啡座是山之茶屋的姐妹店。大家排排坐在窗口边，欣赏海景。据说夏天的时候，岸边会搭上一个银幕，让顾客观赏电影。非常特别吧？

啤酒，美食加上无敌海景，我的最爱！！！

冲绳岛有很多世界遗产。中城古迹是其中一个。顾名思义中城就在冲绳岛中部。。。

看了这么多世界遗产，我已经有点厌倦了。。。还是继续寻找咖啡座比较有趣。哈哈！

上上下下的美金，日元，新币

近期的美国的房贷危机影响全世界。远在太平洋的冲绳岛，特别能感受从美国传来的震撼。。。

冲绳岛真是一个奇特的地方。这里有美军基地，基地里面使用美金，外面使用日元。世界最大和第二大经济体的货币在这里流通，动荡不安的华尔街特别影响这里绝大部分的人。

首先以我为例。薪水以美金计算。这回美金跌到谷底，我们这群领美金的人心情也跌进深渊。日元超级强劲，我现在都尽量不花日元，在基地解决一切生活所需。我每天都会注意股市和货币兑换情况，一有什么风吹草动，便随时出击换钱。心情“爽”度，紧跟随美金兑换率的波动。更糟的是，新币也无比威风，这简直是双重打击，天啊！

反过来，日本人倒是笑哈哈。日元特别强劲，他们特别高兴买美金，准备出国大花特花。有些日本人更喜欢来基地消费。

汇率的波动促使一些台湾同事和日本同事互相换钱。大家都以市场的纯兑换率来换钱，互惠互利。

10年前，亚洲金融风暴爆发后，美国人不断地痛骂亚洲人如何不负责任，金融制度如何贪污腐败，不健全等等。一幅道貌岸然的样子。如今，他们自己也犯下了贪念，随便放贷，造成了现在的世界金融风暴，把大家都卷进去深不见底的深渊中。

暂时忘记恐怖分子，transit 到冲绳

今天刚下载两张恐selamat怖分子的搞笑海报。一个是《prison break》的本地版。一个是talking cock.com的海报。两个海报都十分搞笑，非常创新。我在办公室和同事分享，大家都笑哈哈。不知道我们的总理会如何评价我国这些创意海报。（假如大家 有留意的话，总理，两位资政，至今都没有表示任何意见。。。这倒是奇怪哟）

既然恐怖分子下落不明，那我就继续分享我在这里的风花雪月，希望能助大家排解“恐怖”的心情。

PS : 在这边能够清静享受无敌海景，喝咖啡，并且不会收到政府的sms spam，哈哈！

Limping Selamat Running ...

I am gonna write something not related to Okinawa today. By looking at the title, Singaporeans should know roughly what I am going to say.

yes , the terrorist Selamat.... who really went selamat datang to maybe Indo or Afghan ...

Some questions really keep ringing in my mind...

How can a super KS police force let a detainee escape while he is in the toilet? That simply amazes me. If anyone goes to Changi hospital before, you may have seen policemen escorting prisoners for treatment. Normally the ratio of police to prisoners is around 3:1 (sometimes 4:1?) ... AND the prisoner are in handcuff and leg-cuff .... AND wearing orange uniform. With such super KS measures, I can safely say there is no way of escape.

So how did Mr Selamat run? AND this escape is especially bizarre when he is pai-kah.... AND when he is inside the detention compound? .... hmmmm

so far, minister has not explained on the escape process, saying let the "independent" panel do the work. MPs also never really push for an answer, maybe they worry about making someone paiseh ...

little explanation also on why the public was alerted few hrs after escape (explanation quoted in zaobao: 黄根成也说，马士沙拉末逃出拘留所时并未携带武器，也没有资料显示他会对公众安全造成威胁，因此没有立刻发布消息。) .... hmmm ... I wonder where the "no public threat" information come from, especially when Selamat is no longer in police custody? Who knows what he thinks? I guess as usual, the police "cares for our welfare" and does not want to create "public panic"...

hmmm ... I guess a well-informed news flash will not cause too much public panic (Singaporeans are not that panicky, ok) and maybe Selamat may already be in custody with tip-offs from the public.

These are just some of my annoying thoughts thinking aloud in this humble blog ...

Oh! 1 more thing, heng ah that this news come out after the youth Olympics voting. What will the Olympics council think if they know this before the voting starts? hmmm ...
