What a week! I was so exhausted in fact that I slept in until 9AM today! After the closing of the expo last night, Rich Meeusen CEO of Badger Meter took us out to eat at a local place on the sea, along with some other Badger Meter folks and folks from the Milwaukee contingency.
It was a great way to cap off a long week. This is by no means a complaint against the work we had to do. The experience of both hosting the booth at Singapore International Water Week and the grand opening were great, but the hours were long, there was stress involved, and together that made it all quite fatiguing. So it was very nice to sit down and have a great meal with some folks from home and sure nice of the Badger Meter folks to take us out.
Two guys from Badger Meter who are Singaporean set it up, and new all the good stuff to order. We had shark fin soup, king crab, chilly grad (a whole new crabby experience - it rocked), shrimp, grouper (I believe) and a number of other items on the side.
The conversation ranged from jokes, to career advice, to business items, to skiing, to Milwaukee the Singaporean life. I think I can speak for the group when I say it was a fantastic time and a fantastic way to put a cap on the internship and a long an busy week.
Tonight we have a BBQ with the SDWA staff, and we are also looking forward to that! After that, there is just one week to go of wrapping everything up here before saying goodbye.
