Someday guide

From Wikipedia: Singapore (Chinese: 新加坡; Malay: Singapura; Tamil: சிங்கப்பூர்) is a city-state in Southeast Asia. Singapore was founded as a British trading colony in 1819, and since independence, it has become one of the world's most prosperous countries and boasts one of the world's busiest ports. Singaporean food is legendary, with bustling hawker centres and 24-hour coffee shops offering affordable food from all parts of Asia. Combining the skyscrapers and subways of a modern, affluent city with a medley of Chinese, Malay and Indian influences and a tropical climate, with tasty food, good shopping and a vibrant nightlife scene, this Garden City makes a great stopover or springboard into the region.

It has it all and is the perfect introduction to Asia for the westerner.

But today, there are so many feathered friends that I can recognise in San Francisco. Heading back to Singapore with the insightful iNaturalist mobile app marks a new chapter in my life. In

No uncle(s), no owls in Singapore

“Uncle” is an affectionate term that we use in Singapore to address any adult man (age between forties to seventies), even strangers. Uncle Bangpao is my father's friend of more than thirty years.
