i really like your reflections on your mentality vs that Singaporeans in Singapore and the bit on the Berliner aesthetic. my husband and i were just discussing the very same thing yesterday on how we feel quite out of place here (having both come from an unconventional career/life trajectory though he's a tech analyst now).
condos, or upgrading cars are all our colleagues/relatives seem fixated on and form the bulk of lunch topics. we have been contemplating an overseas move and Berlin was one place we thought about (which was how I found your blog in the first place!) but with a 2yo we aren't so sure how. we enjoy your writings tremendously and it has been quite inspirational and comforting to us, strangely. to know that there's a decent human out there with similar thoughts - though i know that sounds quite dramatic. hopefully one day we'd be able to make that move overseas...

You’re making me miss Berlin! And seriously contemplating living abroad too.
CAMPERVAN!!!
I love these reflections and I'm glad you are getting good use of that camper van.
