Singapore January 09

I guess I missed Singapore so much that I decided to take a quick trip to visit the city state that was our home for one year. Unfortunately, my family could not travel this time so I went alone. I stayed at a trendy Orchard Road hotel and visited Standard Chartered, our old condo, the kid’s school (International Community School) and had lunch with the team at WBRA and MA (sorry for the StanChar acronyms, I can’t help it). Here are some pictures with some brief explanation.

Landing at Chicago. It was covered in snow and the shore of Lake Michigan was frozen

I went to Mustafa (in Singapore) to buy a cell phone



Somewhere in the Malacca peninsula, in Malaysia







In Malayisa, we ate the largest Alaskan crab I have ever seen

I gave a talk at National University of Singapore (NUS) about turnarounds. Here I am receiving a present

At the Shangri-la Hotel in Singapore, where I was going to celebrate a Chinese New Year party

I am back

After a few months of hiatus, I decided to retake my blogg. There have been numerous updates in our lives since we came back from Singapore. For one, we had to get used to the cold winter again. Since November is has been very cold, in January we reached temperatures of -16 F, which equals minus 26 C, very cold! Here are some winter pictures
