Today the sun was shining bright in Singapore. I could see it from the windows of my classroom, where I was teaching all day.
My timing, as always, is excellent.
I could also see this beautiful patch of green.
It covered one of the underground garage entrances, and was a welcome break in the glass and cement office park.
You see the stairs leading to the grass? I wondered if people actually used them…perhaps sit in the sun on days that are a little less tropical.
So I asked.
Apparently Singapore always has weather like this. No cooler season that drops the temps below even 80 degrees. That’s when I knew — I could never live in this island paradise.
(My hair told me so.)
Quick trip
I just attended a business meeting at an airport hotel.
In the airport itself.
I never went outside. I never saw the city. Heck, I never even saw the sun except from the meeting room windows (and we drew the shades).
Then I jumped on a plane and headed home — on an earlier flight, no less, because I was at the airport and could.
Is it wrong to want to minimize the travel in my business travel? To reduce the trip to the quickest way between points A and B and back again? To forget the city my meeting was in because I never made it to the city?
You know, I’m okay with that. ‘Cause I’m almost home.
