Who knows? I've been in Singapore since June of 2008. On that Google Trike thing I suggested Pasir Ris Park. I've taken some great photos there. I doubt it'll be included, but it would be nice.

It'll be nice to have 938 live again, so I can hear the morning talk. I used to listen to that every morning before I went to work. And 94.2 is great during fasting month for me. It gives the feel to the month. It was really different this year for me. I know that for sure time zone would be different. But if I could just have a recording of it, it'll be nice too. <b>Brad</b> Hohoho, what else did you catch? How long have you been in Singapore anyway? I thought that you migrated here rather recently? But indeed, the controls in google maps is something to get used to. <b>DK</b> Yeah! Cannot wait! A virtual tour of sentosa would something to be seen! But that reminds me, sentosa is still under construction right? By the time google comes out with it, it'll be outdated I think. Miza

They are using Google Trike to take photos of pictures that the Steet View Van cannot access. Places like Sentosa, fullerton and boat/clarke quay will be up sometime next year. :) Yeap, Street View is pretty cool.

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:39:04 +0000 http://rinaz.net/?p=1954#comment-153582 I was amused with the Street View in Singapore. I spent quite a while checking the two areas where I've lived to see if I saw anyone I know on it. No hits, but I did catch a view of an old auntie with shopping bags jaywalking: http://brizzly.com/pic/L69 I agree that it helps ease home sickness. I use it sometimes to look at my mom's neighborhood in NYC or my dad's neighborhood in Georgia. The only thing I don't like about it is the reversed up and down movements on the mouse. It's confusing. I was amused with the Street View in Singapore. I spent quite a while checking the two areas where I’ve lived to see if I saw anyone I know on it.
