    When I tell someone I lived in Singapore, the most common response is some variation of, "Singapore - isn't that where it's illegal to chew gum?"I know a Greek couple who refuses to visit Singapore because they feel the rules are too strict and inhumane. I don't think they know what all the rules are - but in a country that still has strong opposition to helmet laws, I suppose restrictions on chewing gum and urinating in public seem fascist. So, no - it's not illegal to chew gum in Singapore.

    Movement is a dynamic element that has been in the toolbox of visual merchandisers since the profession began. Nothing attracts attention more than movement. And if you wanted motion in your window displays, interior presentations – or in a celebratory holiday extravaganza – Lou Nasti was your guy. Raymond Mastrobuoni was a dear friend and colleague of Mr. Nasti. Ray created magic on Fifth Avenue for 40 years as the window designer for Cartier.

    The smell of Thai Boat Noodles always reaches to the parking lot. As you walk further into the Weekend Food Market at the Wat Thai of Los Angeles, whiffs of fish sauce, shrimp paste, garlic, frying rice noodles and more start to chime in.

Of any country I've ever visited, Thailand by far has the best developed and varied street food scene.

    MY RECENT JOURNEY to Australia began several decades ago when I answered an advertisement for a display trimmer; a temporary position for the holiday season. After graduating from college with a degree in fine art, I set up a painting studio in Brooklyn, that magical borough of New York City. All was fine with the world, but to support my painting, I wanted to find a job related to art.

    In 1965, Singapore's Founding Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew corrected an Australian news reporter:"I am not in fact Chinese. I am Malaysian. I am by race Chinese. I am no more Chinese than you are an Englishman." He refined the example on other occasions, eventually saying he was "no more Chinese than President Kennedy was an Irishman". Like his examples, Lee grew up speaking English - it was a first language for him along with Malay.
