First day in Asia

LITTLE INDIA, SINGAPORE: I arrived into Singapore last night after an uneventful Qantas flight. Meals were nothing to speak or write about. I was seated next to a man whom I thought was a very nervous passenger, constantly referring to his notebook of biblical verses. Turned out he was actually a minister or religion in Singapore for some spiritual preaching.

My hotel is at full capacity for the expo and has turned out to be quite nice given the package deal price I negotiated. Good location in Little India, nice facilities. Breakfast buffet is expansive ranging from Western - Singapore - Indian. This is a snap of the art deco furniture in the hotel foyer while I'm waiting to catch the expo bus.

The 2008 Food&HotelAsia got underway today. Seemed to be a few glitches with registration entry. Exhibitors were all happy working away on their stands. The show, the transport and the people all seem to be very organised.
