Review: My Grandfather’s Road by Neo Kim Seng (English version, performed by Karen Tan)

My Grandfather’s Road is adapted from … Continue reading Review: My Grandfather’s Road by Neo Kim Seng (English version, performed by Karen Tan)

I’m convinced Tokyo is one of the most magical megalopolises to exist on the face of the earth. Beyond being situated in Japan (no doubt a favourite country of ours), there’s life all about the city from the crack of dawn to the fading of the last sunbeams.
