I have so many questions that I would like to ask you, and I'd appreciate it if I could discuss them with you via e-mail. To me, the lack of awareness of Singapore's popular culture in the past is a very pertinent issue today.

Wanting to expand beyond my own knowledge of Paris-inspired songs, I asked my Facebook friends - such a clever, resourceful bunch - to suggest their own favorites. (I’ve got to admit, I’m pretty pleased with this idea I hope my editor keeps it in.) As I was putting together the chapter openings for my upcoming cookbook Tasting Paris, I was inspired to illustrate each with a few lines from a beautiful French song about Paris.
