Voor Nederlands, scroll naar beneden 😉 On my way back home, I finally have time to tell you about my experiences in Japan. Although many people thought we would fall in love with the country, we didn’t. It definitely is beautiful, clean, the food is nice and fresh, the people are very very polite…
Scroll omlaag voor de Nederlandse versie. Time flies and so my last year in Singapore is almost over. I’m a bit sad that I have to leave all my new friends behind and I can’t imagine my life without the RDA anymore. On the other hand I’m looking forward to going back for (at…
Voor Nederlands, scroll naar beneden Everybody seems to worry a lot about traveling by plane. But the dead man’s ride from the airport to the hotel, is actually the most dangerous part of the trip. Although I assume all taxi drivers have a license, to me their driving skills are nothing more than just controlling a car….
Voor Nederlands, scroll naar beneden. It’s been a while since my last post, but that doesn’t mean I been sitting still. On the contrary, I find myself busier then ever. And now the count down has started, because in January, we will go back to The Netherlands. I’m living here for quite a while…
Voor Nederlands, scroll naar beneden Lately, I started walking a lot more than on the Thursday mornings only. That’s because Pleun and I got the idea to make a book of all the beautiful walks we make weekly in Singapore. To do so, the routes need to be on paper and preferably understandable so no one will…
Voor Nederlands, scroll naar beneden I think this is already the 3rd time that I write about something that has to do with Mee Siam. This blog is obviously not about the food (I’m in the middle of a series of portraits), but about the people who make it! ‘My cosy corner’ is a small place…
Voor Nederlands, scroll naar beneden 😉 What happens when you go for a walk in an area far from the city center (as far away as you can get in Singapore)? You meet people who actually say ‘hi’ when you pass them! Here, in the center, everything is about business and money. Making contact is mostly about…
Voor Nederlands, scroll naar Beneden Thanks to Nel I found this beautiful spot in Sembawang. It’s the one hot spring that Singapore has and rumour has it, that the spring will be gone soon. The hope is that a public agency will take it over and maintain it as a hot spring. For now,…
Voor Nederlands, scroll naar beneden As written before (Taxi!), a large amount of cars in Singapore, are taxis. They are pretty much everywhere, they’re cheap and convenient. For these reasons we use them a lot. As you know, we don’t have a car here. In the first place because it’s too expensive, but apart from…
Voor Nederlands, scroll naar beneden Last weekend, I met Franky at a bird corner in Beo Crescent HDB in Tiong Bahru. It’s a place where uncles come together with their song birds. They take a cup of coffee and have a little chat together. Owners position their birds close to those that will encourage them…
