Just back from overseas

I had to take a business trip to Singapore and Tokyo last week. This was my second time in Singapore (I like the city-state) and my first visit to Tokyo (I'm undecided). I spent nearly three days traveling during the trip. It's eight hours from Brisbane to Singapore, seven hours from Singapore to Tokyo, and was eleven hours from Tokyo to Brisbane via Sydney. I had a lot of time to write and think on the flights, so I'll be editing some posts taken from those notes and publishing them here. I was so busy rushing around during the days, or locked inside attending meetings that I didn't bring back any photos from the trip.

Weird happening: in Tokyo, I picked up some free postcards from Tokyo station, entirely at random. When I got them back home, I looked at them, only to discover they were postcards published by Tourism Australia.

Major impression of Singapore this trip was: 21st Century city. Major impression of Tokyo was high density high rises and the ridiculous wealth represented by institutions like the Edo-Tokyo Museum and the Imperial Palace.
