no. 55: color block concrete

a second post for paying supporters

There’s a feeling that’s the inverse of homesickness, when you come home and remember all the reasons you left. Singapore gives me this feeling, this sort of sickhomeness, in spades – it’s as pervasive as the humidity.

This newsletter might give the impression that when I’m in Singapore, I do nothing but take the MRT from one hawker centre to the next. This isn’t far from fact, since I was practically predestined to love eating. But I’m also making a pilgrimage without a destination, trying to distill homesickness from sickhomeness.
