Iām meeting a friend for coffee in The Central Business District on a work day. Coming to the CBD is always a funny experience for me; I always feel Iike a tourist in a corporate zoo https://t.co/4uqSp5AMfJ

Thereās a place behind me which claims to sell āauthentic European cuisineā. Just saw a lady (who looks vaguely European) balk at it and go āwtf is European cuisine??ā to her friend. š fair point. Like what is āAsian foodā either? š We all use the vaguest terms https://t.co/jFTB7hFqdQ
If you only have 5 minutes to check out Singapore, I might have to recommend a walk down South Bridge Road. Iām not sure if thereās anything like if in the world - Indian food - a Muslim mosque - a Hindu temple - a Buddhist temple - Chinese shops - shophouses - corporate towers https://t.co/Fgchfvp6kx
Also a church, Indian street names, all kinds of food, cranes and towering skyscrapers https://t.co/elhzmeoB31
Singapore is always under construction https://t.co/WcO8iLARFD
I love my city tbh. I have my criticisms, but this is home. There is a substantial part of me thatās embedded and intertwined in all of this https://t.co/3q6FoPgNtz
I remember sitting here, at 17, drunk and depressed, thinking that the world in front of me was too beautiful for me to feel the way I felt inside (at the time) https://t.co/FU5dRavlXk
One of my favorite pics, of all the ones that Iāve ever taken, was of a couple of strangers lying here and taking it all in https://t.co/NrPg5CKnTG
Well, time to go home https://t.co/Te2WPURPFf
So tomorrow is the 53rd anniversary of Singapore's independence from Malaysia, and since most of my followers are American, it feels like an appropriate time to maybe do an oral history thread about my city? Let me (badly) sing you the story of my people https://t.co/bXiEqVgao4
