Monday, August 9th is National Day in Singapore. It’s like the 4th of July and Thanksgiving wrapped into one. There are parades and tanks and flags and jets and fireworks and marching. Last year they staged a mock terrorist attack to show how prepared they were.

Not sure what the Stockdales are going to do to celebrate. Virtually every person I’ve asked has told me to avoid the chaos and watch it on television. Television, is there nothing it can’t do?

keeping with the postal theme – is there mail service on “national day” also, I must add that it is quite a creative name for a holiday — NOT.
