Slieve Mish Mountains

Last weekend we went for a little hike in the Slieve Mish mountains. The hills were coated with some layer of snow and ice.


The beach at the bay down there is the same as the one on the last two pics of this entry from our summer vacation 07.

EPTC Conference Singapore

December last year I went to the EPTC conference in Singapore. As it was my first time there it was a fantastic experience. I got lucky and had a hotel room on the 15th floor. This was the view from my window.

The amazing thing about Singapore is the mixture of everything. There are some british colonial buildings for example. But the weather is much greater than Britain. While I was there it was always about 30 degrees and very humid but still enjoyable.
The best places to get food are these food courts where you can get exquisite chinese, indian, arab and malay cuisine for about 2€ per meal.
A stroll through the arabian quarter...
...and through the indian quarter.
The conference dinner took place at the Singapore turf and racing club. I did not win any money though.
The famous Singapore flyer.
