Day 1 @ RSA Conference Asia Pacific & Japan 2016

# Domestic Departures

8:45 of the morning, the first flight from Shenzhen Airport by international flights (previously to Japan, Europe from Hong Kong), 3 hours ahead of the departure.

30 minutes by taxi to the airport, 135 yuan. At the departure gate of T3 4th, we found that the counter staff of check-in were not yet working.

After the check-in, go directly to the boarding pass. Go to the negative an elevator, found not quite right, under the dark, not like someone to work.

After that, a customs staff saw us, prompted to go straight ahead, the road including security equipment, clearance channels are all not started ... And so go to the front, suddenly lights up, the customs said, "so early to do, the inside did not eat or drink no shopping, you 7:30 come Again", just, go to eat breakfast first.

Shenzhen international flights Less, can be likened to a small international airport, like Santorini's airport, clearance very fast, it seems that the future from Shenzhen only need to arrive 1 hours in advance.

# arrive at Marina Bay Sands

Before Singapore to the Marina Bay Sands has been heard, belonging to the landmark Hotel.

From the airport, from HSBC's ATM machine took 200 SGD, according to the reception of won advice, direct taxi to the hotel.

Taxi costs, in the line where there are signs, there are regular and premium two models, in busy hours and leisure charges are not the same, white Mercedes-Benz series to calculate premium, leisure 30-35, corresponding to the regular is 20-25.

Because the Singapore is too small, so the taxi cost directly with the interval, not like my big mainland, on not capping ...

Get in the car and tell the driver to go to Marina Bay Sands, or MBS, or casino, and the driver will know the destination.

All the way to the airport high-speed, found a lot of places are Chinese, sure enough is Chinese country. Under the high-speed quickly saw the Ferris wheel and lotus-like strange buildings, as well as MBS.

Into the MBS, found that there is a female band playing, four people, the use of Guzheng, Guqin, pipa and other musical instruments, immediately let the hotel full of ancient model children.

Handle check-in, also Chinese finish. Next to handle check-out Chinese uncle not English, his room may be some kind of activity, say is free, front desk two staff didn't confirm to his free information, uncle will not English, finally domineering said "You slowly check, car at the door, I must go", and then really go, Leave two crazy waiters.

Check-in's brother told me that there were no two beds rooms, and asked if they could accept a king-size bed and a room with a small bed. I told him categorically, "totally unacceptable."

"The room was booked one months ago, and it is clearly stated that twin rooms with two beds", small brother said to help me find, not surprisingly, found a twin room. Can be seen, the insistence of the things must be clear attitude.

The room is arranged on the four floor, right on the garden, pro sheares Ave, poor visibility. With teacher Chen, decided to change the room.

Press Express line, first call, tell the front desk to change rooms, why? "Low floor & too much noise", haha, impeccable reason, the other side said to help me check whether there is a room.

A few minutes later informed, found the room, let us wait in the room.

20 minutes passed, no movement. The second call tells us that we are cleaning up and is in the process of a new room card.

Another 10 minutes passed, or no movement, the third call, told us that the room cleaning completed, 10 minutes someone came to help us to carry luggage for the room.

This time, the Indian brother knocked at the door after a few minutes. This is the view of the new room, feel the next.

Compare the views of the 4 floor room:

Can only say this time, value!

# Sky Park & registration & Museum

In the room for a while to see the scenery, decided to go to the top floor overlooking the Singapore of the geographical style.

Turn over the hotel's instructions, the original top floor is the legendary mount forced Holy Land-infinity pool, only hotel tenants can access the room card.

55 floor is a viewing platform, overlooking the surrounding area, open to the outside, charge tickets.

After reading, hurriedly first went to the business, came to the hotel behind the conversation Center, straight to the four floor RSA registration point.

Registration is very simple, first in the Step1 area of the computer to find their personal information, click OK, and then go to STEP5 to collect the materials and access card.

After putting the material in the room, take advantage of the sunny and go to the West ArtScience Museum to see the exhibition.

There were three show, "Big Bang Data", guess is big data and visual content, and computer strong correlation.

Artscience Museum is also part of the MBS and households can enjoy 85 percent.

Show more content, staff said it takes about 1 hours to read, at first I still disagree.

Show entrance is a large screen, a bunch of dots in the move, back to a similar garbled interface (the person who made the 16 will be very kind), through the dense character echoes the theme-Big data.

The content of the exhibition is roughly (by impression, in no particular order):

1. Computer room. Show the form of using three screens, surrounded by a square (missing side), three projectors corresponding to three pieces of screen, screen content from the bottom to move up, through the relative movement, to create a person in the elevator accustomed to look at the engine room feeling, can let not into the room of ordinary people feel.

2. Optical cable. Singapore from 09, Xuancheng to create "smart city", and submarine cable is the basis for all data transmission. The region describes the marine cable erection process, fiber-cable structure, and the worldwide distribution of optical cable lines, you can see Hong Kong, the United States, the distribution of optical cables is very dense.

3. DC, data center. This paper introduces the appearance of data centers of famous companies around the world, including the computer room used by the PRISM program in the United States, the Icehouse room in Lulea, Switzerland, and the Olympic engine room in Beijing (the highlight is self-seeking).

4. Data ocean. What happens if you print all the photos you've taken recently and pile them in the room?

5. Data visualization, visualization. Since the advent of statistics, how to better display the data has become a problem for everyone to think about. In the paper-media phase, the biggest challenge is how to present multidimensional data in a two-dimensional plane, and to be intuitively understandable. Is the French army in 1812-1813 to the Russian war personnel reduction situation, the departure of 450000 people, arrived Moscow only 10000 people, on the road each place loss how many people? How to visually express the process of reducing the staff? Charles gave a very interesting answer in the 1869 years. Through this map, you can show the time, location, number of people, travel routes, round-trip direction and so on 5 dimensions of data, really admire.

6. A mad letter. Actually someone with a graph letter, in addition to the shape of the difficult to distinguish, but also color to differentiate, I do not understand, who can translate under?

And so on:

Well, that's enough.
