Random things

Random things to note:
1. Returning to London from SG/HK makes me realise once again how expensive London is. A Marks and Spenser microwave meal in London could pay for 2.5 char siew siew arhp fan with teh ping in HK, or 6 plates of 2 dollar chicken rice in SG. Went for lunch with two colleagues. Just a cheap thai restaurant in the area... came up to 10pounds a person. Cheap is a relative word man. Could pay for more than 4.4 char siew siew arhp fan with teh ping, or 10 bowls of super good wan ton mee.
2. The Bhutto assasination intrigues me. I want to find out who did it, but perhaps I won't find an answer (that I will be happy with)
3. After living abroad for so long, I find SG a little bit stifling. I can go on and on about this, but lets just say I won't be able to find pron dvds or magazines in the stores.
4. Some director at barclaycard got fired for making a stupid racist joke, "... are like muslims, some are good, some are shi'ite". While I think the joke was really silly and made in bad taste, I don't think he should be fired for that. People make racist jokes all the time, and some of them are genuinely funny. Making a racist joke doesn't mean a person is racist. For example, we make dumb blonde jokes all the time but that doesn't mean we hate blondes!
