In about one weeks time I once again head for Beijing, China. This time to attend the FERM 2007 conference. One of the keynote speakers is Robert Engle, Nobel prize winner in economics 2003.

Last week our Swedish visitors for two weeks left for the homeland. I trust they returned with many pleasant memories of their Singapore/Bali stay.

To my great pleasure reseguidens own Lotz laid her eyes on a conversation I had with Zappe50 about our cravings for Swedish food in general, and licorice in particular, and gave me the tip to try out the Norwegian Seamen's Church (located at 300 Pasir Panjang Road, Singapore). Sure enough, not only do they sell Swedish candy, they also offer a impressive Scandinavian barbecue buffet each Sunday after the service. Hat's off to Lotz.
