New 'Horology Heaven' Community In Singapore
We all know Singapore is a safe, fun place for timepiece enthusiasts, so I have a proposal. We develop a building in Singapore that's part retail / part meeting space for the first two for three floors, proper spaces for watchmakers / repair, a hotel mid-building, and luxury 'horology homes' for the upper half. It would provide a space for like-minded enthusiasts. Being SG, perhaps a planetarium and observatory too.

Would you desire to live in 'Horology Heaven'?

My blood is too thick for that latitude. So I send my regrets.

Did you go from being the director of the Florida Travel Bureau to the czar of the Singapore Travel Bureau?

Or are you doing both?

I’m banned in Singapore. Something about being off leash while chewing gum.

No sir. They don't take kindly to gum chewers. And their leash laws are the strictest in Asia.

It won't be a problem if not only the gum, but also the force will be with you on May the 4th. Just say on that day: "These aren't the Chewys you're looking for" :)

Someone should really tell their Tourism Bureau about the leash law for Wookiees being a barrier to tourism.
