Traveling Home Office
The new home office in my Singapore hotel room. Much of today was really busy as it was my first working day here in Singapore. Pictured is a moment of calm, but tomorrow will be more of the same.
One thing I cannot get used to is the meals, or at least the amount of meals. I normally don't eat much more than two meals per day, but with my hotel stay, I get a complimentary Continental breakfast, and then I have the customary lunch with customers and representatives, and then dinners again with customers and representatives. I try to eat as little as I can, but almost after each meal, I still feel really stuffed. I mean really "stuffed". Maybe it's the jetlag's way of hitting me....
Pictures will be hard to come by during the day, since cameras aren't allowed in the company that I visit, so maybe I'll have some time in the evenings, later this week.
There's an exhibition hall here called Esplanade Hall, and I think because of it's spanish origins, asian people here can't pronounce the name. So, it is universally known as the giant Durian. If you know what a durian is, you'll know that it's a giant Asian fruit that has spikey tips all around it, which is what this exhibition hall really looks like. However, you would also know that durians stink. They really reek, really bad. But tell anyone in Singapore you want to visit the Giant Durian, and they can get you to Esplanade Hall. Cheers!
