About Me: I am a native of Singapore and a professional expat. Since leaving Singapore in 1994, my life journey has taken me first to Bangkok, then to Manchester UK, and then to the United States - starting with Los Angeles, then Honolulu, then Silver Spring, MD, and then back to Honolulu.

EPL
The main issue I have with EPL is that it (the film anyway, I can't be arsed to read the book) romanticizes Bali, and Ubud in particular. But yes, I was flirting with EPL territory this week. Good thing I pulled back. My distaste for kitsch usually sets me on the right path even when I stray :-)
