The Irish In Singapore

Informações:

Synopsis

Singapore is not as famous a temporary destination for young professional Irish as Dubai, but there are still plenty of us there. A friend who spent nine years in Singapore drops by, and I take the opportunity to interview him on his life there. We discuss Singapore history, its relationship with the British Empire, the modern ex-pat bubble, being in an Irish band there, and of course, a few scary legends are thrown in for good measure. Why do Singapore ghosts like to listen to concerts, how do undead wives return to haunt their husbands, and why should you be buried with paper effigies of luxury items? It's all in tonight's episode of Strange Ireland.
