It made me so happy to visit one of my favourite places in the world this week, Singapore’s Pulau Ubin. This little island is only 3km away from one of the world’s busiest and most futuristic airports but it feels like another world. When most of Singapore rapidly modernised, this little community between the beach and jungle held onto the relaxed rhythms of village life. You still can’t drink the tap water. Friendly cats wander through the little cafes where you might be served chicken grown on the island or fish caught nearby and cannot pay by credit card. The boats to get there run when enough people show up and the taxi service is some old guys with an old van that probably wouldn’t be allowed on the mainland. A few minutes walk out of the village and you’re in beautiful jungle and mangroves with beautiful butterflies fluttering by. It’s the perfect soul nourishing escape from big city life.
