An interesting book in how we get to experience Singapore through the eyes of Alessa Lorenzo traveling in Singapore. I love the advice in the beginning of the book about not looking like a "noob" which translate roughly to mean, "newbie." I like the tips on the local places to eat and especially about the coffee, sounds delicious. That is on top of my list when I go. I also appreciated the photos and tips on how to navigate in seeing the sights.This is a different sort of a travel guide, not your usually  bullet-point go here, go there. Rather it's like a dairy, giving the reader a feel of the colors, textures, and taste of a foreign land. For my money, I would rather read about someone else's experiences than just read another travel guide, this is so much more, becoming personal and intimate. I want more travel guides like this and I know from reading this one, I'll have a more enriching and rewarding time when I am in Singapore.
