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
