Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Singapore got sexy and the country's bestselling author got jealous. After five years of chasing echidnas and platypuses in Australia Neil Humphrey's returns to Singapore to see if the rumours about the island's newfound sexiness are true. Vowing to visit only locations that either did not exist five years ago or had been extensively revamped in his absence, Humphreys sets off in search of new Singapore. From the cloud-topped heights of Marina Bay Sands and Pinnacles@Duxton to ill-advised bomb jokes at the subterranean tunnels of Labrador Park, Humphreys walks, cycles and hitch hikes across a rapidly evolving country, where he meets Guinness-swigging aunties in Resorts World Sentosa, fierce creatures in the Chek Jawa jungle, political cleaners in Aljunied and a security guard at Marina Barrage ready to tekan anyone who crosses his path. In new Singapore, Humphreys discovers a country grappling between the economic rewards of progress at Fusionopolis and the historical cost at Bukit Brown Cemetery. Told with honesty and wit, Return to a Sexy Island provides an insightful, humourous account of new Singapore: its best bits, its ugly bits, its in-between bits and, most importantly, what it's really like to pee in the world's best toilet."--Back cover
