Singapore Sling

Singapore, where I was last week speaking at the Asian Summit conference, is one giant shopping mall. It is hot. Singapore competes with Hong Kong as a convenient and Business friendly launch pad for Asia.

The Government runs the island with a strong hand and has been extremely successful educating its population in relevant disciplines to increase standard of living. It is also the cleanest place I have ever been. Highlights included the Asian Civilisation museum, Singapore Slings at Raffles Hotel and the hotel poolside especially around cocktail hour.
