Ahhhh.... Asia

Stand by for tall tales but true from the 1st Asian Mediation Association Conference here in Singapore today and tomorrow.

Asia is weathering the global financial storm well with construction cranes still appearing on the skyline and taxi drivers not overly stressed if you decide to walk past them in the 33C heat.

And of course it's still the wonderful Asia that I have come to know through many trips here over the years, with all the tastes and smells of Asia, right down to the fish congee with ginger and spring onion with mango juice on offer for breakfast.
