I'm striking up conversations with strangers & asking them questions about Singapore.

This time, I talk to a code-switcher about how Singaporeans can glide effortlessly between English and Singlish, and then drop by Joo Chiat to hang out with a non-coffee drinking barista who sells artisanal coffee from a hole she made in her kitchen wall to customers who walk the lane behind her house

Hear. Here. Singapore.

The Night Safari in Mandai is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and the big draw has always been to see animals at night; lions, elephants, rhinos - the bigger, the better, you might think when it comes to entertainment value. And yes, when the lions roar, it's a sound that inspires awe and terror at the same time. But on my trip, the best sound I captured were Bubble and Squeak, two playful otters swimming and scampering around their enclosure. Be prepared to fall in love!
