[Leica] Singapore Panos

[cummer at netvigator.com (H&ECummer)]

Dear Joseph,
Thanks for updating me on the function of the building. I was really  
impressed with the way Singapore recycles its old colonial buildings -  
unlike Hong Kong which just tears almost everything down to build  
glass and steel.
The National Museum is an example for all museums - with free tape  
lecture machines - and two paths to follow - the historical and the  
personal history. The day I was there the place was crawling with  
school students ion yellow T shirts doing a geographic challenge - and  
it was a Saturday. They were having fun even as they learned.
Cheers
Howard
