Still here in cold Belgium.
Six more days and we have our own appartment.
The first of September I also start working.
We hope to have everything sorted out by the end of next week.
We are still looking for good places to eat but soon we can prepare our own meals, looking forward to eat some spicy curry!
And while the weather takes a big turn here every 10 minutes and we experience the four seasons in one day, we here that it rains almost every day Singapore.
I almost start thinking that Singapore is crying for us.
No Maggi Noodles here in Belgium, so we might order a case to be send to us.
Miss you Singapore.

Cold Belgium
After more then three and a half years finally landed again in Belgium.
After such a long time it was a bit of a shock and freezing cold!
It is the first time for my wife and she quite excited.
It is a lot of adjusting but we will manage.
We wont be in Singapore for a while but we know that we will return next year.
For now I wish all the best to all the people we met in Singapore.
Greetings from Belgium.

Football at the Olympic Games a disaster
I watched Belgium - Brazil, a first round game in the Olympic tournament.
There has been so much written in the newspapers about teams that didn't want to send their players too the Olympic games.
While at first I was against those teams, I now understand why.
Sending good players to such a tournament is one thing, but then sending referees too those games that don't have any idea what football is, is another thing!
It is insulting to the players and there teams that somebody who obviously never led a big game can show there stupidity at the Olympic Games.
In a rather friendly game giving 10 yellow cards! How absurd!!!!
Brazil won in the end with 1-0 with thanks to the referee.
Maybe that will be the only way that the Brazilian team can win the gold medal.
No surprise if their won't be any football tournament at the next Olympic Games.

More than 1 million visitors for Singapore Flyer
Since the Singapore Flyer started operating, five months ago, more than 1 million people have visited the Flyer.
Half of those tickets were sold to tourist, the other half was bought by Singaporeans.
A new visitors centre for tourists has been launched at the Singapore Flyer, to further boost ridership figures, which should help to reach the 2,5 million visitors mark set for this year.
It is expected that the Singapore Flyer peak period will be during the Formula 1 race in Singapore and the Youth Olympics.
