 One thing we've learned, despite the best of intentions, is that overseas trips aren't the best for blogging. One starts off with the best of intentions, but then stuff just gets in the way! The days are pretty full, and by the time that it is time to switch off, the energy just isn't there. As for those people who manage to get into a proper habit of keeping a daily diary irrespective of how busy they are, heaven knows how they do it!

Anyway, we ended out trip with a couple of days based from Singapore - meetings and property-related stuff, including a visit into Johor Bahru in the southern tip of Malaysia (the causeway and border being a bit of a pain - much easier to get in and out of Singapore by air than by land!). One of our stops was to the URA (the Urban Redevelopment Agency), and they have a couple of rather fancy models of Singapore, one of the whole country, and one of the central area only, with enables them to show how the plans for the country's continuing development are being deployed.

Interestingly, they also have a Stephen Wiltshire artwork in display, done in 2014 after he visited Singapore.


Then, of course, never mind models and drawings, the real place is rather photogenic as well.
