As an all too familiar sight whenever I visit the airport, the immense facade of the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport in Singapore has always piqued my curiosity, like a monument that greets me as I anticipate the start of a trip or savor the familiar smell of home.

Bino — Sun, 09 Dec 2012 12:39:42 +0000

Singapore’s Chinatown: A Street By Street Look

Bino — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 06:23:09 +0000

At first glance, having a Chinatown in a city where the population is three quarters Chinese seems rather… redundant.
