Beef broth with Japanese Noodles and hot crisp chili oil
A soup is not only good for warming up on cold winter days. Clear beef, vegetable or poultry bouillons bring a lot of vitamins and minerals with them.

Food poisoning is contagious! There's no way to say beyond a shadow of a doubt: "This can't happen to me" Not even if you cook everything yourself and only buy organic food. You are also dependent on the personal hygiene of all employees who handle your food. And not only that. Especially in warm countries, maintaining the cold chain is not always taken so seriously.

Asian DIY Hardware store experience and how we find the red light district
I don't know if it's my husband's German culture, but no matter where and how long we've been somewhere, there always has to be something repair or optimized. Even in a service apartment… But where can you find a DIY Hardware store in Singapore and is this also called a DIY store here?

Cockroach and mosquito races

Laws in Singapore are strict. There is also a point System (12 pt). Only a few offences are enough and you're a pedestrian.

Culture shock – You’ll get it

Don’ts – Decency, Laws and Severe penalties
