Housed

Today I sent my wife into the great outdoors, armed with a digital camera and an internet connection, and waited. Five hours later, we had a rental agreement signed and a flat in Chinatown, looking out across Singapore. This was a marked improvement to the last time I went house hunting in Singapore (four days of panic, rage, and no house at all), and suggests that the lightness of a woman’s touch was all that was needed to solve my intractable housing problem.
