1. We have been in Singapore for 6 months!
2. I have not driven a car in 6 months!
3. I live on the 24th floor of a highrise apartment and I still really, really like it!
4. I have had VISITORS!!!
The last few weeks I have been entertaining visitors in my new city. Thank you Carol Chew for leaving the Dubai desert (and your sweet kids!) to come for a quick Singapore tour! I am so glad Carol got the chance to swing over before she "repatriates" back to Texas this summer! That means her expat days are numbered and she is heading back to the good old USofA. (not jealous...not jealous at all.)
We had a great time zipping all over the city! I think I did a pretty good job for my first go-round as Singapore Tour Guide! First stop: Pottery Jungle!
How to describe The Pottery Jungle? It is a place....in the jungle (not really but it feels like it!)....that houses and sells mountains and mountains of beautiful, relatively inexpensive Chinese pottery.
And it cannot go unmentioned that MARTHA STEWART visits the Pottery Jungle when she comes to Singapore! Well if Martha likes it, it HAS to be good!
