Tonight I get to do the “turnover” on my Singapore residence. That means one last going-over before I officially move in on 15 July.
Of course, on the 15th of July I won’t be in Singapore, so my helpful coworker whose wife is my apartment agent will be taking care of my keys whilst I am gone.
When I get back to Singapore after a few weeks in the US, I’ll be able to snag my keys from them and start to settle-in better than is possible in the very-nice-but-temporary location Barclays put me up in for my first month.
I’m in need of guests from the US (or elsewhere if I know you) to come and experience Singapore and update me on what’s going on in the States beyond just Google News and emails and phone calls from friends and family.
So, if you’re looking for something to do, and I know you, feel free to drop me a line and come on over.
Just wait till August so I’m there, too 🙂
You’ll have that constant feeling that you’re missing something in the US. Believe me… you’re not.
In 1992, I was in England, having that same “please tell me what I’m missing” feeling. Only at that time, there was no CNN where I was staying, and the internet consisted of plain text USENET news groups. When I finally made it home, I realized that the hot new thing that I had missed was “Ren and Stimpy”… a cartoon mostly about boogers. What a disappointment.
I did not make that same mistake in Singapore in 2001.
Forget what’s going on here… you’re drinking life from the fountain, and we want to hear all about it when you return… or maybe sooner, if you continue to post here.
