Heads are back down now as it looks like the herd has wandered off in other direction and again the prairie land of I’m-actually-working-here laptopers can return to their hunt.

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!
