What's new?

  Current posting: April, 2012

    Dear friends;

     The last year has been a whirlwind as I moved from Bosnia to Singapore. I accepted a position
as Professor of Communications at the S P Jain School of Global Management, where I also direct
the Passport to Excellence Program. Here I teach oral and written communication,
communication theory and management, and leadership, in addition to my administrative duties.
     Singapore is a great town and I love living here. The place is immaculately clean and
well-organized. There is little crime. The food is great. The people are nice. I suppose my only
gripes are that housing is expensive and the weather can be pretty hot and humid much of the
year. Other than that -- it's green and beautiful.
     What traveling I have done is mostly work-related. I took a trip to China to speak at some
recruiting events, and I did the same in Hyderabad and Bangalore, India. I have spent far too
much time in Dubai. As we were short faculty there, I had to cover some classes and activities.
Dubai is, well, a whole 'nother story.
     I have taken two short trips to Malacca (Malaysia), which is very interesting. I also took a
short trip to Batam (Indonesia). I took a four-day trip to Vietnam, where I visited Hanoi and Ha
Long Bay. Hopefully the job will settle down enough for me to see more of the region.
     Below are a few photos.
