Description:

When journalist Neil Humphreys moved from his native England to the small island country called Singapore, he began to write articles about his observations of the quirky city for a local newspaper. With his trademark wit and style, Humphreys' readership and popularity grew and included both locals and expats. Local Singaporeans found his observations so dead-on they couldn't find fault with him and are now loyal readers. Notes From An Even Smaller Island is a collection of Humphreys' essays about life in Singapore. From the aunties in the hawker centres to expats dressed as bananas, from Singlish to Kiasuism, Humphreys takes in in-depth, candid and often comical look at the idiosyncrasies of Singaporeans. Notes From An Even Smaller Island has been a national bestseller in Singapore for three consecutive years. It is a must read for anyone moving to or visiting Singapore -- or anyone who enjoys a good laugh.
