The Little Red Dot

It's official, this summer we'll be moving down to Singapore for a three-year stint with the US Embassy there. I got my official orders today so now begins all the other hullabaloo and paperwork to get us out of here in June, back to the U.S. for home leave and training, then back to Singapore by mid-July. I'll be heading up the econ unit there which is actually pretty small considering that Singapore is one of our top trading partners. But the Sings are so on top of their game that few problems come up to deal with. Singapore gets slighted as being "Asia-lite" or "Asia for beginners" but we always loved the place. Not just because the place works and is nice, but it's also culturally diverse with great food and all sorts of history. We're more than happy to spend a few years there!
