Travel

Just landed at Singapore’s Changi Airport for the first time ever. I was supposed to come a while back for a visit with the team here (8th busiest international airport), and a tour of the Port of Singapore (world’s 2nd largest container port).

That year was 2020, so plans changed. I got to meet via Zoom, however, with Jaisey Yip, then GM and now VP of the cargo business division at Changi. At the time, she said the primary friction was how stubbornly paper-based the industry remained, largely because people don’t want to share data.

The airport is well-positioned to lead technological change. The scale of cargo traffic and advanced manufacturing flowing through and from Singapore is incredible. This is even more remarkable, given the country’s relatively recent formation.

Right now, I’m enjoying a morning coffee while feeling like a kid again. I’m delighting in the virtual sea animals floating above me and live fish swimming in a pond behind me. This is the Dreamscape in Terminal 2, an indoor garden of 20,000 plants and a digital sky that mirrors real-time Changi weather. One of many peaceful exhibits around the airport.

Also, I am so tired that I didn’t register what the nice barista said I’m supposed to do with the cup of cream. I just ate it like a pup cup. 😆🐶

When I first started casting on “Warpcast” a couple months ago, I never imagined meeting anyone here in person. But early on, I met with @christin and @july thanks to a cast about my (our!) favorite bakery.

They opened my mind to the joy of URL to IRL friendships - a new experience for me personally. This broadened my perspective on community and serendipity here.

Without that early experience, I would not have had this one. Hanging out with the delightful @aviationdoctor.eth while looking out at the Port of Singapore.

In a world where social networks divide people, I appreciate Farcaster for being a rare corner that genuinely connects us. I appreciate you all for being here.

Miss you too @july, hope you’re slaying those ROC software bugs!

Miss you @aviationdoctor.eth hope yall had a good time

And much to explore about the selves we bring URL versus IRL, and why. Another cast for another day. :)

Liking this just for "URL to IRL" parlance.

It might be those early IRL connections you‘ve made that in turn impacted your URL ones as well 🫶

I wish! There is so much else I want to do (KL's the top of my list), I know I must come back.

Come over to Kuala Lumpur since you're in the neighborhood!
