I'm awake now because I went to bed at 7:30. Must go back to bed soon.

I've been reading up on Singapore. mr. flea had a phone call today about a post-doc there, and as far as the work is concerned, he is the most interested in it of anything he's exploring so far.

Singapore, eh? That would be different.

I know someone whose son took a faculty job at a Singapore university. The money's okay, and they can afford to have a nanny to look after the kids (big deal because mom has a chronic illness) but they're finding it very hard raising kids thousands of miles away from family, and affording plane tix for visits is difficult for everyone.

If it's a couple of years, sure, but for a career-type job, be really, really sure before you commit.

Yay Singapore!

Have to say, I loved my parents bringing me weird places to live when I was a kid. Don't know how hard it was for my parents though.

That would be!
