An Entrepreneur's Dream
Interested in small business? If so, check out this article. I was surprised to find that Singapore was sitting at #1 and the USA at #3.
Camping -- Singapore Style
I am still working on a post about the medical care here in Singapore, but in the mean time. . .
I thought you'd enjoy this picture of the campsites at East Coast Park. Notice the expressway in the background, as well as the high-rise apartment building. IF I were going to camp (which won't be any time soon), I think I'd at least want to camp somewhere where I wasn't listening to the drone of cars all night long. I guess the upside of camping Singapore style is that McDonalds, home of the S$.60 ice cream cone, is only a 3 minute walk from your tent's front door =)

Time Zones
One perk about living in Singapore is the fact that we are in the same time-zone as China. Most of the time, this isn't a huge advantage, but when it comes to the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics, it is. Josh and I were able to watch the Ceremonies LIVE last night, but in order to watch them live in CA we would have had to get up at 5AM (which means, we wouldn't have watched them!).
If you didn't get a chance to watch the Ceremonies, you missed out. They were amazing. The choreography was stunning. There were over 4000 dancers/drummers/etc. . . and as far as I could tell, every single one of them carried out a flawless performance. As far as I am concerned, Beijing takes the gold medal for Best Opening Ceremonies.

A Visit from Family
Yesterday, Josh's family arrived. We three have mushroomed into 13 (and two more arriving this weekend)! We'll be keeping busy the next 10 days.
I'll post updates as I can, but this picture will give you a taste of the pandemonium that has ensued =)

A Cheap Way to Spend a Summer Day
(. . .or a Winter Day since there are no seasons in Singapore)
Where: Sentosa Island
Cost: $3/adult (kids free)
What: Pack a picnic lunch and hang out on the beach, enjoying the only significant breeze in Singapore. Hike the Jungle Trail. Play in the cool water feature near Siloso Beach.
