April fool

So… April first... Back on track! Have been looking for a new blog tool, but will continue here for now (come on Fivestarday, didn’t you promise something was coming?).

And back in Berlin (more about that later) from Asia. Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia. Wrap-up?

Thailand: People-driven capitalist mania softened by buddhism and massage, both accessible and incomprehensible. Bangkok 40% dreadful (mainly daytime) and 60% true magic.

Singapore: Neat and clean, proudly (and eagerly) contemporary, air-conditioned gourmet paradise, though strangely un-exotic. Mentality governed by the strive for the official five C:s of Singapore (Cash, Credit-card, Career, Car, Condo).

KL: Government-driven capitalist experiment , challenged by the Malays’ complete lack of interest for careers and development, compensated by local Chinese and Indian eagerness. Chaotic and inviting expat heaven with Asian values softening Muslim dogma.

Will I go back? Definitely. Both for pleasure and work, if I get my way.
