Australian writer of Montenegrin descent en route to a polyglot European port at the head of the Adriatic mid-2011 shipwrecks instead on the SE Asian Equator. 12, 36, 48…80, 90++ months passage out awaited. Scribble all the while. By some process stranger than fiction, a role as an interpreter of Islam develops; Buddhism & even Hinduism. (Long story.)

Dinner on Geylang
The Eastern Restaurant, corner Lorong 27 and Geylang Road.
Around 7 30pm.
The owner reckons it gets even busier in the early mornings before the work-shift.
The workers here are all foreign, mainland Chinese at this Eatery. Twelve hour days, six days a week are standard in the construction industry = approx. $S1500 per month.
Rice, meat/fish and veg at Eastern $3.50. Good tucker - sampled with the photographer Steve Black on the night.
