Working in Singapore

Wow it's hard to believe it's been a week already. Time really flies by when you're working. And working on both US and Singapore time. 9am mtg in US? That's a midnight meeting out here. 2pm US, 5am here. You get the picture. Speaking of pictures, I mentioned the food so here's a little food log of some of the vast variety of food available. I have to start off with the fish-head curry. I think the first time we went here (last visit) it was a dare. It's a tad off-putting when you first see the head emerge from the bowl, but it's so tasty I forget. I can't take the eyes, though. When I was here last time one of my colleagues snapped them up. This time we let them be.

That night I had one of my favorite Singapo-la dinners: Laksa. So bad for you. Spicy noodles, some fish and lots of coconut milk. Add some Tiga Beea and it a it's the perfect meal... until the heartburn hits. I love the spicy food, but it doesn't always love me back. In the morning it's always nice to counteract it with some nice dragon fruit. I never see this in the states. It's totally yummy. Watery like watermelon or kiwi, but kinda tart. Delish!

Last night we had a fun dinner with the gang at a Thai restaurant around the corner. Tom Yom Gun soup. So good. Again, so spicy! Of course, since this is all the production engineers, they had to take a time out around 10 for a call. Twice daily. 10am, and 10pm. 3 of them were on the call, but everyone at the table was on the hook if something was going wrong at the factory. It's amazing how hard everyone here is working. As I understand it this is one of the first weekends in a long time where they're not all working both days. That leaves me to find an adventure for tomorrow and Sunday. For now the only adventure I'm interested in is sleeping past 6am. Then we'll see.

For now here's the pics
