I have the best memories of my visit to Singapore. The Botanic Garden with its meandering paths and plentiful orchids was a highlight, as was our visit to the Writers Bar at Raffields Hotel. Thank you for bringing me back there over my morning coffee in Montreal. 🥰
Your reflections on rediscovering Singapore through a visitor's eyes really resonates. After 7 years, it's easy to lose that sense of wonder, but the way you weave togther the contrasts of old and new architechture with those fun facts brings the city back to life. The Boey Kim Cheng poem excerpt was a perfect choice to capture that tension between progress and preservation.

Having you here opened my eyes and made me see anew. Thank you ❤️
I love this, Samantha! That "novelty has worn off" feeling is so real, it absolutely takes a visitor to make you see your home again.
I almost felt guilty about feeling it. So true how visitors open our eyes.
Beautiful! Thank you, I really enjoyed reading this. Singapore is a wonderful place!
Thank you! I love how varied it is. If you look, there is a story around every corner!
I found this fascinating, great insights into a place I’ve never been but hope to visit! Love the photos.
Thank you Tina ❤️
