and smell the Singapore Slings!

There's a prog on the telly right *now* featuring the world's busiest
port - Singapore. A quarter of all the world's cargo passes through it!!

Watching the scale of the operation and pace (enthusiasm and commitment)
of those involved confirms my suspicions that the slack-arsed, complacent
West has got a hell of a shock coming! They're docking ships the size of
Wales at the rate of one every 3 minutes and Singapore (4.5 million
souls) is 'wealthier than most European countries'!!

**Yeah, well, have you been there?


Noop.


A week and you've pretty much seen it all.


Feck me, I should say so! (I reckon you could do Horse Trailer in a couple
of days.... ;-)


Food is ordinary (compared to hong Kong) and the place operates pretty
much under marshall law 24/7. Executions are on Fridays.


OK, I'd make it a weekend trip then...


Possession of canabis is sufficient. The weather is unrelentingly hot and
humid. Everyone lives in an almost identical high rise apartment. The
Jurong Bird Park was mighty impressive, however. There's nothing else to
do in Singapore, but work your butt off.


Time to overcome our prejudices and take note methinks...

**We'll see. Watch what happens when the current generation has all the
money and power. We're seeing already in China. Young people simply don't
want to work as hard as their parents did.


Make yer mind up - above, they're 'working their butts off'...!!??
