The new



july issue of monocle is a really wonderful read! cover story: the top 25 liveable cities. singapore scored 18th position. our favourite has to be their chain-store pollution meter. tokyo has 219 starbucks outlets, copenhagen has 2 (in the airport), stockholm and helsinki has NO starbucks at all while paris has 34 of them. we have 62, and counting.

Definitely, you can pick them up at Page Ones, and even mama shops (news stands as Monocle likes to call'em)

My mama shop is the one at Holland Village -)
