One of the things about Singapore… people seem to treat the sidewalks as their own turf and just fill it up with their own stuff.

Sidewalks… meant for pedestrians? Imagine THAT!!

Dinner with the University of Waterloo

Wednesday, November 12th, 2014

Went downtown today to have a check-up at the hospital. Met Naoko and had some coffee. Great!

After that I stayed downtown for a meeting the President of the University of Waterloo, in town to trade ideas about what the school can achieve in Asia. It was great to meet President Hamdullahpur again, and to have a lovely meal and great discussion with him, some other UW officials, and UW alumni living in Singapore. They picked a great venue – Salt, 55 storeys above Ion Orchard, with a great view of the whole city.
