First beach cleanup!
Memories.
Perhaps Ah Gong inspired the Putinphiles here
It has been a while since we had such young guests in PaRis. As always, I learned a lot from them, and found some release for paternal instincts.
Even as we are taken through the pain and anguish, E-Ching seems to float above it all effortlessly, effervescently. The whirlwind of pixels, never ending, never defined, has a sort of catch-me-if-you-can power. The voice is young, but also old in its wisdom.
The wildest Covid-19 border story I’ve heard involves a Malaysian speeding in her car towards Singapore, only to find a huge jam at the border crossing. Arriving at six in the evening, this friend of a friend had given herself plenty of time to make the midnight cut-off, after which foreigners would no longer be easily allowed into Singapore and the complications of modern travel would kick in: quarantines, swabs and stay-at-home notices. With her family and job waiting in Singapore, she had to make it back.
