Many times I have visited Singapore already on business trips, a lovely city in the heart of Asia. It exhibits an interesting contrast - the skyline feels like a cold, future extraterrestrial space, whereas the streets are crowded with lovely people who enjoy shopping, dining outside and just hanging around at street corners.

On all these trips I did some filming, but the ends never came together. The last two times it was different, as I discovered a theme which would bridge the contrast - the selfie's. Never, in any other city did I see so many people making cell phone pictures of themselves and relatives in front of the futuristic skyline.

And in the end that was the connection between the people and the futuristic skyline.

Let me know what you think!
