Raffles hotel in Singapore
"Hallvard Tangeraas" wrote in message m... I'm going to Singapore soon (been there once before and loved it) and was wondering about the legendary Raffles hotel. What's the deal about this hotel: why is it so famous? Well, it is fancy for sure. It has hosted lots of distinguished folks and a tiger was shot to death in it's pool room. Popularity is often popularity in popularity's shake. Consider popular objects like Rolling Stones (old farts playing for big audiences since 1960's), Madonna (good heavens!), mr. and mrs Beckham (something quite unbelievable), Kokka Kolla, McDonalds, Ronald Reagan, Ferrari in F1 (car is nothing but a pathetic wreck). Or outside "Western landmarks", Islam and Allah (hundreds of millions of freaks gathering on rugs bowing their forehead into dust). The Raffles is about the same. There are millions of men playing guitar better than Keith Richards and there are millions of actresses who are less of a catastrophe than Madonna and there are millions of statesmen who are less senile than Nancy's husband ever was....... |
