A bunch of us, Sean, Ailing, Weilan, Brian, Shiwen popped by EXPO to take a peek before heading off to 2am:dessetbar. We were running short on time and left within the hour. I am pretty sure all the guys didn't mind staying longer. Hehe.
Super Import Nights – The Ultimate Motorshow is notably the biggest and only tuner car show in Singapore that is returning for the third successive year. It has the characteristics of the Tokyo Autosalon as well as the virtues of Hot Import Nights (USA).
The great thing about Import Reactor was that it was held at an anime convention (Anime Matsuri), so the atmosphere was definitely very interesting and different.
Some entries at the car show were more involved in the anime than others. I thought this little guy on top of a white 240SX added a nice touch.
Look for full event coverage in S3 Magazine - if you don't already have a subscription, pick one up! Its cheap!
So, the main reason I wanted to go shopping at the Traditional Market area, well other than just seeing this remarkable place, was to get a pair of jogging shoes. For cheap! I had a little trouble finding a size that fit me. I would point to the tag on the tongue of the shoe, than to me, and say "sambek" meaning 300. The guy looked at me and said WOOOOW (just like that). It made me laugh, he was quite impressed with my shoe size. So needless to say, my shoe hunting came up unsuccessful.

A closer look at the access corridor to and from the main airlock vestibule. there is another access corridor to the right (out of sight) that meets up at the vestibule facing the Shuttle lock ( to the left out of sight) that you later see Ripley fleeing the ship and where The Alien waits for her.
Care to guess where Texas longhorns came from originally? If one goes waaay back in history, both India and the Middle East were involved but in more recent times (relatively speaking), they were brought over from Portugal and the Canary Islands by the Spanish in the 1400's and 1500's, ultimately becoming a feral breed that underwent rapid natural selection in northern Mexico and portions of what would become Texas. Those that survived were hardy, disease and drought resistant, and ate a wider variety of forage on their rangelands, thus being less destructive than the later introductions of "improved" domestic cattle since they didn't simply choose a select few favorites of vegetation. Many of these cattle were driven west for the California gold rush and many more went north to the railroads in Kansas for shipment east following the Civil War to appease demands for beef. When tallow came into demand and open range began to disappear, these leaner cattle began to disappear, as well, but an effort by both the US government and private forces began to preserve these interesting bovines in the 1920's.
The two shown here are part of a very small demonstration herd of about ten longhorns that reside at Theodore Roosevelt National Park's North Unit in McKenzie County, North Dakota about 15 miles south of Watford City. They tend to hang out in the area between the park's entrance and the campground and I think I enjoy stopping to watch them just as much as the large herds of bison that populate the park. Longhorns such as these were quite likely a regular sight in historical times when the Long X trail wound it's way through the Little Missouri River breaks and when Theodore Roosevelt had his ranch operations nearby (I need to research what kind of cattle he maintained at some point...). Here is one of many interesting links I found while refreshing my memory on the longhorns that might prove interesting reading: doublehelixranch.com/FAQ.html (3-9-2016)

Em 1897 Belo Horizonte ainda era um arraial chamado Curral del Rei quando uma importante construção, que ainda hoje está instalada no mesmo lugar, começava a ser erguida na região Leste da capital. Trata-se do prédio do 1º Batalhão da Polícia Militar de Minas Gerais, construído na antiga Praça Belo Horizonte, hoje Praça Floriano Peixoto, no bairro Santa Efigênia. Somente após dois anos do processo de edificação, devido a um incêndio ocorrido ainda durante a construção, o quartel ficou pronto para receber o Primeiro Corpo da Militar da Província de Minas Gerais, comandada pelo tenente coronel José Victoriano de Oliveira Moura.
