Greetings from the Lion City! Our 18-hour flight seemed part of a dream sequence when the whistles, squeaks, and hollow caws of waking tropical birds stirred me from sleep through the brightening dawn. The portable air conditioner blinked 27 deg Celcius (81 deg Fahrenheit), the same outdoor temperature that welcomed us when we emerged from the airport after midnight several hours earlier.
The rest of our day, Billy Joel-style: roti prata, pei dan jok, lontong, mee siam, Sam Sui chicken, kang kung belacan, mee suah, fish head curry, okra, eggplant, pre-WWII family photos, …, all in the company of folks I've known for almost 40 years.
