Singapore was absolutely beautiful, and at times it was easy to forget that I was in another country. A lot of things are very westernized and very modern and even cutting edge, but the rich cultural background of Singapore's people is evident everywhere you go. You can see old shop-houses (stores with apartments above them) and beautiful mosques and temples, all with skyscrapers in the background. Most often, we ate at open air food courts, in which food vendors had hygiene grades posted on the front of their stalls (A, B, C, D).
We visited Positronics as well as Food Empire in Singapore. Positronics is a Springfield, Missouri based company that makes connectors for everything from satellites to airplanes. We visited the Singapore branch, called Positronics, Asia.
We also visited Food Empire, a company that sells instant beverages, such as coffee and tea. It's main product is MacCoffee 3 in 1 coffee packets. These packets contain a premixed amount of instant coffee, creamer, and sugar, so the consumer can just add hot water to have an instant cup of coffee. Food Empire gathers these three ingredients and mixes them to make MacCoffee.
Here in Malaysia, I'm missing Singapore already! The good news is that Malaysia is going to be every bit as exciting, maybe even better. Let's hope so!
