A bit of backpacking…
Just doing a bit of backpacking, and somehow I find myself at the Fullerton Hotel, a 5 Star hotel in the heart of Singapore. One of the top 3 hotels in the country. At an Investment meeting for British Expats put on by a British Investment Banking firm with ties to private Swiss banks.
Some drinks and conversation before the meeting. Fine wines and some beers, juice, water, everything. “Have you been with the firm long?” hahaah -‘No, I’m new to the group.’ hahaha.
The meeting put on by a friend of a friend who wanted to show us what he did. Graham was the speaker talking about market trends and investments and such, and how there was some 24 billion dollar privatly run Swiss bank involved. I, of course, was there for the food.
After the talk there was a 5 star buffet of steak, fish, crab, lamb, all types of vegetables and salad, appetizers, and desserts and coffee. Met a few people and chatted them up a bit in the process of eating as much as I could.
A few days before I was invited to the #2 hotel in Singapore called Shangri-La. We went after dinner for some tea. haha. It was a really nice place, huge chandeliers and a piano player with a lady singing – the whole deal. This guy Shawn who was about my age took us there, him and his wife Wei Ling. He worked in some accounting firm or something, and owned a small business selling Japanese goldfish.
