IBM has a second office in Singapore — the 16th floor of a skyscraper closer to downtown (my commute is 15mins vs. the 60 to my normal office). The floor is a full mobile desks — only a handful of which have phones.
Not only did I pass a coffee cart on my way in, but there is a bar in the lobby (more on that later) and a great view from the heights … I feel a little closer to home from here 
However, the view from the windows is one only Singapore could provide. In front of me is a park in the center of which are 2 giant hectagonal mirror skyscrapers. Through the center of them and beyond the park is the passage to the ocean, and it is cluttered with ships. I didn’t know harbors could be cluttered with ships … but it’s the best I can do. I have counted 22 in easy range (with a few more blurry could-be’s on the horizon) — these are each well over a foot-ball field long — the kind that cross the ocean laden with tons of cargo of all kinds. I can also see to the right of the harbor a giant ferris wheel (like London’s “Eye”) — it’s due to open in January 2008 — each carriage holds about 20 people. Out another window is Arab Street — which is capped by two golden domes and great colorful spires.
Well, it’s a nice change from the view of the airport!

Location! Location! Location!!! Sounds pretty awesome. Enjoy the view..enjoy the coffee on your way into work…and about the bar, my first inclination is to say…Cheers!!!
Is this move a change for the duration or do you need to go back/forth? Enjoy it all while it lasts!!! Just one thing, as you look out the window and look toward the sea, remember that we are at Biscayne Bay wondering where the seas touch and mingle…that’s where you’ll find us! as we think about you xoxoxo The opportunities you are experiencing daily are incredible…savor each one as much as you are able…and keep painting visuals with your words…it’s so fun to read about your days
See you soon!!! Mom
The view sounds great; take some pictures for us!
