Book Description

When journalist Neil Humphreys moved from his native England to the small island country called Singapore, he began to write articles about his observations of the quirky city for a local newspaper. With his trademark wit and style, Humphreys' readership and popularity grew and included both locals and expats. Local Singaporeans found his observations so dead-on they couldn't find fault with him and are now loyal readers.

Notes From An Even Smaller Island is a collection of Humphreys' essays about life in Singapore. From the aunties in the hawker centres to expats dressed as bananas, from Singlish to Kiasuism, Humphreys takes in in-depth, candid and often comical look at the idiosyncrasies of Singaporeans.

Notes From An Even Smaller Island has been a national bestseller in Singapore for three consecutive years. It is a must read for anyone moving to or visiting Singapore -- or anyone who enjoys a good laugh.
