After snow threatening the journey to Heathrow and a delay while our plane was de-iced before take-off, we got underway with a smooth journey to Singapore to discover stunning views from our balcony over the river, the high rise business district, and Boat Quay, from the Fullerton Hotel, previously the Post Office built in 1928. Singapore has seen huge development since I was last here 10 years ago, including a monstrous >60 story three-hotel tower development overlooking the straits that will have a huge rook garden spanning their tops when it opens shortly. The presenec of cranes and building rather indicates that Singapore is not in recession and that engineering innovation is still alive and well here.
