Took a taxi to NTU. The driver was nice and I have arranged for him to pick me up each morning. He drops his kids off at a school near the hotel so he does not charge me a booking fee. That is excellent service!
Spent the first couple of hours at NTU chatting to colleagues and some of the other presenters. Everyone is working hard. During the day I attended Daniel Churchill’s workshop on Learning Objects. It was very interesting. I have some material that I can share with my colleagues downunder.
I met some of the participants for my own workshops and I asked them what did they expect. Our expectations were different so I spent most of Monday night and Tuesday morning making changes. The presentation worked well and the added hands-on component was a blessing.
After that I went back to the hotel and then into town. Finally tracked down the beautiful re-issues of David Live and Stage by Bowie in the HMV store in the Heeren Centre on the corner of Orchard Road and Cairnhill Road. Met a friend at Orchard MRT and had dinner at Bukit Batok followed by durian in Geylang. The durian stall is illustrated below. Click on the image for more.

Have you asked someone where are those famous toliets we watched from TV couples taking their wedding photos from?
