crazy crowds

reporters, photographers and media types rushing for a quote from a famous celebrity or politician? you would think so from the picture. but would you believe chinese, japanese and korean members of their individual calligraphy societies who are visiting singapore to attend a calligraphy convention?

and the subject of their attentions? our very own president nathan. i can understand the jostling that one would get from press photographers at big events, but event attendees???

sheesh, i'm just glad i don't work in those countries.
