The best thing about Singapore (is everything)
Our tour through Singapore took four jam-packed days.

Prose/Poetry: Memory
I was in Chuy and Kiko Eatery when this happened. From Pablo C. Bueno’s wake. Dated 11 March 2012 from my pocket journal, unedited.

Places: Isdaan
(Isdaan crosses the thin line from simple restaurant to a “place”. It’s not just a place to find food –it’s a restaurant slash fun park and all galore.
