Good Reason

It's okay to be wrong. It's not okay to stay wrong.

Post 700

On the eve of my 700th post on Good Reason, I find myself in Singapore. (I’m presenting at a conference.)

The conference hasn’t started yet, though, so I’m taking a day to look around Singapore. My strategy is to fling myself into the hurtling stream of people and see where I wash up. It’s going well. By dinner time, I was in Vegetarian Central with a steaming plate of rice and fake meat. And root beer. For some reason, A&W Root Beer is unaccountably popular in Singapore. You can’t get the stuff in Australia because they think it tastes like medicine. Figure that: the people who happily gulp down lemon lime and bitters won’t touch root beer because they think it tastes ‘weird’.

This is an open thread. Where does today find you?

  1. Is the root beer thing a southern hemisphere problem. You could not get root beer in Chile either. I actually was able to taste the children's medicine that has a root beer essence to it so I do understand. But I still like grape and orange soda's and thats what all my medicine tasted like as a child.

  2. I'm watching a fab night of random blues greats on BBC4. Currently enjoying Buddy Guy preceded by Stone the Crows.

    hope the presentation went down well!

  3. It went great! Important people asked polite interested questions. Thanks for axing!
