For those of you who don’t study Asian geography for your hobby, we thought it might be helpful to show you where we are going to be.  We are learning a lot about the area ourselves as we prepare for our move. We will be living in Singapore, which is an island, a city, and a country.  It is 100% urban.  To “get out of the city” we have to leave the country because the city is all there is.  From what we understand it’s only about an hour or so to get to the closest areas of Malaysia (by car or train) or Indonesia (by ferry).  A two hour plane ride could take us to a number of countries.  As of right now, most of the work Toffer will be doing will be in Thailand and Indonesia, though that could easily change by the time we get there. He’ll be traveling maybe once a month for a few days at a time or up to 2-3 weeks (longer trips will mean more time home in between–he won’t be gone two weeks at a time several months in a row) to install FM radio stations, do training, and/or do maintenance work.  Toffer wrote more about radio station planting a few weeks back, so scroll down if you want to read about it.  Here’s a map of Asia.  HCJB Global includes 40 countries in the Asia-Pacific region.  Singapore is almost smack dab in the middle of it all.  Singapore is underlined with a line to the island, though the line pretty much covers up the island, so you can just pretend you can see it. It’s small. In addition to the regional office in Singapore, there is also a transmitter site in northwestern Australia that has two shortwave transmitters that sends programming all over the region.
