asia, for beginners

recently we had the privilege of having 2 germans, going by the name dennis and maren, grace our humble home with their presence.

for about 8 weeks, they made our little pink room their refuge while trying to muck their way around singapore, which is in dennis' words, "asia, for beginners.".

apt really as you think about it. he said, singapore is a melting pot of a lot of asian things. you can find hawkers literally everywhere with food ranging from peranakan, indian, chinese and western. we have little india, chinatown and even a mini korea (arguably). want to have a taste of whatever without going there? we have an array of local food apps on smartphones. everything within 40 mins (drive) reach.

I hope that we had been good hosts to them, not just as singaporeans but simply as a fellow human being.

God bless their souls.
