Where: Singapore
I recently had the opportunity to travel to Singapore for work. It was a short trip – arriving late on Monday, presenting at a conference and back on Thursday.
While there I took the opportunity to see a bit of the city – certainly a lot more since I last visited, transiting through Changi Airport on the way to Europe about 10 years back.

Singapore is a clean, modern city and one which is perfect for a few days (perhaps more if you’re cashed up and ready to shop).

One of the highlights was missing the bus from the Australian flag raising ceremony in the Athlete’s Village. I was about to miss out on attending an official team function when I was offered a seat on a bus by one of the Australian […]
