Singapore February 2005 Days Two and Three

Took a taxi to NTU. The driver was nice and I have arranged for him to pick me up each morning. He drops his kids off at a school near the hotel so he does not charge me a booking fee. That is excellent service!

Spent the first couple of hours at NTU chatting to colleagues and some of the other presenters. Everyone is working hard. During the day I attended Daniel Churchill's workshop on Learning Objects. It was very interesting. I have some material that I can share with my colleagues downunder.

I met some of the participants for my own workshops and I asked them what did they expect. Our expectations were different so I spent most of Monday night and Tuesday morning making changes. The presentation worked well and the added hands-on component was a blessing.

After that I went back to the hotel and then into town. Finally tracked down the beautiful re-issues of David Live and Stage by Bowie in the HMV store in the Heeren Centre on the corner of Orchard Road and Cairnhill Road. Met a friend at Orchard MRT and had dinner at Bukit Batok followed by durian in Geylang. The durian stall is illustrated below. Click on the image for more.
