Long holiday

· Misc

After a whirlwind of planning, re-planning around Shan's work, and, well, a bit of procrastination (who's judging?), ... We're finally leaving for our extended holidays. Saying "See ya!" to Singapore for three months! This is the longest I'm stepping out of the sunny (yet overly warm) island in the last 7 years.

Feels a bit surreal. Boarding in SQ 332 in ~55 minutes.

First stop? Oh, Paris! And from there, it's off to Belgium, then back to France for a road trip. All that with Ila (no time to update her site)... Let's see how that goes. 🙈

Changing from a car-centric Paris to a cycling city

· Misc

I've not been in Paris since 2015, I believe. Feel like I should probably pop-by again and see if it really changed that much. I remember it to be mostly one big traffic jam with all the 2 and 3 wheeled motorcyclists racing in between.

It would be interesting to see if other major cities in Europe follow suit.

I'm actually quite looking forward to the biking future: riding (e-)bikes, a proper last-mile method (i.e. combing rental bikes or e-scooters with public high-speed railway).
