We're in Singapore

Jing and I popped down to Singapore yesterday, and I must say it's surprisingly lovely and interesting. Almost inclined to say "Singapore Rocks" which is just about true, as they have a concert venue that puts Hong Kong's to shame and draws some great international acts. 20-plus years since I'd been here and the place is transformed. The service is as good as Hong Kong's but friendlier, the air is cleaner and the economy buzzing. (12% growth last year).

We dropped by Xena back at her mooring in Hong Kong, on Sunday afternoon, Mike doing odd jobs, Noel off to Church. We caught up with Grant at our place in DB, for afternoon drinks and a nice dinner out at Zaks. He's in fine form. Leaving for home tomorrow. Staying at our place in meantime, looked after by Arlene. He summed up the delivery in phlegmatic Antipodean style as "I've had better, I've had worse".

Will post some photos later, as can't post them off the iPad.

Off to Orchard road... And Taipei tomorrow.
