I got the call just before Christmas. My client needed someone versatile as part of a small crew traveling to Singapore for a corporate meeting.
This was the first time I had the opportunity to travel business class.
This was my flight attendant. She called me Mr. Ogborn.
later, I found out there are height, weight, and hair color requirements to be a Singapore Air Flight Attendant.
We left at 9pm. 4 course meals, and all the wine you can drink.
once I arrived, after a 22 hour flight, I made myself comfortable.
I woke up he first morning at 4am and decided to go look around.
I am always respectful and careful when in a foreign country.
Especially when the possession of marijuana = DEATH
(it’s also illegal to possess chewing gum, but you only get a ticket) (not kidding-just google)
So.... This is the artwork found in a country that doesn’t smoke dope?
I saw some clients making their way to breakfast... So I quickly blended in
Now, I just had to make my escape and get to work
Time to work. Yep, I traveled to the other side of the world to sit in a room without windows for 12-16 hours and work on computers
After 4 days in the little room, I then moved into a bigger room w/o windows. SHOWTIME~!
We had one day off and took a 1 hour ferry ride to Indonesia
I am looking at the South China Sea
Hmmm, I guess it looks like all the other seas.
Awe Man, I have to go back to Brooklyn and 12” of snow. WTF.
Dear Singapore........ I’ll BE BACK!!
(but I’ll leave my narcotics at home)
Did I make this trip sound fun and exciting?? Well, in full disclosure, this is the view from my hotel window, and this is about all I saw of Singapore. But I’m glad I went.
