Utah, home of the Mormons.. it's a lovely place, it possesses perfect 'Sound of Music' backdrops. I think George is there to get a perfect photo shot. I mean Ground Zero, White House, Capital Hill, that is just so cliche.. Utah, that is something new! You got to give it to them.

You are right.
Come to think about it, foreign ministers who visit Singapore don't go around looking up MPs and grassroots leaders.

Hike my dear fuller,
Our good Foreign Minister is seeking for divine help to help Singapore's poor financial state. We should thanks him instead of insulting him.
