Singapore February 2005 Day One
February 20th, 2005

Did some shopping this morning. Shirts, CD-Rs, a MP3 player with voice recording ability and a new Rolling Stones CD. I was hoping the re-issues of Bowie’s live albums, David Live and Stage, would be available but I did not have any luck.

Later I went across to Chinatown to have some cold drinks, watch the world go by and eat dinner. Saw a lion dance, took some time lapse photography of the Chinese New Year street decorations and returned to the hotel.

Singapore February 2005 and hailstorm back home
February 20th, 2005

I am back in Singapore to conduct some presentations and workshops at Nanyang Technological University. The presentations and workshops focus upon digital media, web publishing and curriculum integration in a nutshell. I have started a photoblog to record the time here.

The flight was horrible. Very bad turbulence from the thunderstorm in Sydney and clear air turbulence all the way to South Australia. No food or drink for about three hours. We all had to stay very put.

This will be the last time I fly British Airways. They were brusque, undiplomatic and the attendants are not a scratch on the wonderful Singapore Airline attendants. The entire toilet seat fell off when I went to use it. Bangers and mash for tea. :)

Meanwhile, back home in Australia there was a hailstorm and Shao Ping, my wonderful wife, emailed this image to myself:
