Signs you are not in Japan on holiday anymore but back in Singapore, post-2020/2021 edition:   1. You can use dustbins everywhere instead of your pocket.   2. You aren’t spraying disinfectant on your hands every time you enter a store or restaurant.   3. You aren’t given a “Mask Envelope” to put your mask in, when you’re dining.   4. People talking loudly on trains.   5. A public bus doesn’t come once every hour in the rural areas. Addendum: There is no such thing as a rural area in Singapore either.   6.

It has been more than two years since my last overseas trip. And my last WWDC was June 2019. So this trip to San Jose was very special. Flights were full and it took some finessing to get me there. My journey to Cupertino involved an SQ flight from SIN to NRT to LAX and then an Alaska Air flight to SJC.

San Jose downtown was quiet and you can see many shops and business closed due to the pandemic. The big Muji store next to my hotel wa ..read more

My journey to and from the US was long. So I watched a TON of movies. Some on the way to San Jose, some on the way back, some in the hotel. Here is mrbrown’s Inflight Movie mini-reviews: Blacklight: Liam Neeson should just stop making movies. The Outfit: Slow burn but so satisfying. A cut above the rest. Clean: Almost zero story and filled with caricatures, but Adrien Brody is great as an avenging garbage man. The violence is almost poetic. The Lost City: A surprisingly not-lame rework of Romancing the Stone. Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum are hilarious together. The Contractor: I’m ..read more
