I don't really have any great or significant observations to make today. Just a few minor ones.

Doing business in this part of Asia really isn't much different that doing business back home--well, India aside, which is a whole 'nuther story as they say.

Things happen pretty quickly here. Singapore is about business, a regional hub, with the harbour facilities being critical to the region. There is a good deal of finance and a lot of software companies are moving in as the government seems to make it easy for them to do so. Besides, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and other nearby countries all have pretty much fully English IT staff.

As for food: man, this place is the food capital of Asia. Wow! I'm just loving it. And the portions are just the right size--not like back home. I never leave a place so full and bloated like I would in Austin.

I'm sure there will be more observations to come, but this place is a very, very English speaking friendly place. Quite different than I expected. But I'm not really sure what I expected anyway.
