Knowing nothing of Singapore, a young Englishman Neil Humphreys arrives in the land of ''air-conned'' shopping centres and Lee Kuan Yew.
From the aunties in the hawker centres to expats dressed as bananas, from Singlish to kiasuism, and from Singaporeans at home to Singaporeans abroad, Humphreys explores all aspects of Singaporean life, taking in the sights, dissecting the culture and illuminating each place and person with his perceptive and witty observations.
Written by someone who is at once both an insider and outsider, the book is a wonderfully funny and disarmingly honest portrait of Singapore and its people.
This light-hearted observation of Singapore by a young Dagenham (Essex)-born English school teacher/journalist enters areas of Singaporean life not normally highlighted in tourist guidebooks. The resulting picture is comic, shrewd, relaxed and highly coloured, and at times infuriatingly provocative!
