A taste of summer in Singapore

Flying from Beijing to Singapore, we’ve crossed two seasons. Apart from the climate, few things impressed me during this trip. Maybe it’s because I’ve been here once; or perhaps the two countries are too much alike.

In the evening, people of different colors gathered at the open air bar in Suntec city, drinking, chatting, smoking, as if the fatigue from a day in the office would morph into air through the cigarette. Despite the humid weather, their shirts are neat and clean, just as the country is.

We were overwhelmed by the hospitality of our colleagues in Singapore. Within three days, we tried a wide variety of foods: local, Thai, Japanese… at restaurants, at the beach… wow, it’s too much. All I want is a bowl of noodles at home. It’s good to be back.
