What the buzz?

The day before we went to London, we, along with some Singaporean students and ex-residents, were at a tea reception at the Singapore ambassador's residence in honour of visiting Minister for Transport, Mr Raymond Lim, .  

During the Q&A session people asked about environmental issues in public transport (yes, well, it happens, and it came from a Frenchman) and the IRs. Mr Lim was excited to tell us about the soon-to-come Grand Prix and how it would make the city more exciting. We would not believe it, he told the audience, but S'pore these days is really quite a buzzing city.

5 days later, in London, we found ourselves at the V&A museum because my sister is desperate to get some culture into my food-centric self. It was the night of their Surrealist Ball, visitors turn up to picnic in the grounds, dress up in eccentric costumes and dance in the marble foyer. Everybody was enjoying themselves. The event was free of charge.

Buzz. Like style, it can't always be bought.
