The last three weeks have passed like a day. I have tried to incorporate myself in the routine of the family, enjoying each and every moment, including the very special tropical feelings so specific to the region. And so it went…
Coming back to Singapore – and coming out of the hotel – I instantly felt this heavy and humid atmosphere; a great feeling until you begin to spot this little drop of sweat that leaks down your spine and will certainly help turn your body into a sticky and heavy thing – unless you quickly find a temperated air-conditioned shopping mall to hide!
Nevertheless, I had a special joy to exercise outside, jumping, biking, running or just walking in the jungle among flowers I had already forgotten. For sure I didn’t encounter (yet) cobras, monkeys, monitor lizards, hornbills, or any of these blue kingfishers in Maine, and coming back to this familiar environment was kind of special – yes, I almost run on a cobra 2 times, was surprised by a baby monitor lizard during a run too, we had the visit of a couple of monkeys in the kitchen and hornbills on the balcony, and heard and saw some kingfishers in the trees around… Some animals were actually a bit too close to human activity – a consequence of the lockdown probably, as it has been described elsewhere in the news.
I enjoyed Epicurean dishes as well: delicious fruits such as papaya, mangoes and mangosteens and had succulent asian food, including Japanese sushis and sashimis.
And a very special Tropical feeling that I didn’t get to have for a while: the real fresh beer after the workout, the one you dream about and salivate way ahead!!
