Air Canada Toronto to Hong Kong. It's a friggin' condo.


Singapore fruit market. New Years is next week and the oranges are out in full force.


Big empty meeting room.

Some of the students after our class. The 2nd from the right is this really brilliant fellow, Muaz, from Syria. He didn't seem particularly evil to me. I'll have to tell George Bush.


Namboka and I at dinner at Lau Pa Sat.




Singapore, early morning hours. View towards the airport side of the island, approximately South from where I am (63rd floor Swissotel The Stamford)

Downtown Singapore. Traditional, new, all mixed together.


Singapore: the famous Raffles hotel, from above.

The beach on Phuket.

Our dinner in Patong Beach: fish, shrimp, shells, rice, vegetables, and of course Singha beer.
