Finally arrived in Singapore, settled in the freezing air-conditioning of my bordello style hostel room - checking my email while reclining next to my in-room shower cubicle. Stylish.

Wandering alone in a foreign city, mapless, for the first time ever. But I don’t feel alone, because of all the eyes on me. Perusing the hawker centre, old people who can’t look away, shocked when I flash them a smile.

My chicken rice dinner was simple but delicious. nothing superfluous on the plate, tender chicken atop the crunchiest driest cucumbers with a mini mountain of coriander. Soup, chicken rice rice with chilli  and ginger sauces. Nothing better, believe that.
