With the Hong Kong-Singapore Air Travel Bubble delayed until 2021, the dream of spending Christmas in Singapore is no longer a reality for many. However, members can still enjoy armchair travel to the Southeast Asian hotspot via Zoom. Sin Chang Mak, Head of Membership and a Singaporean, is spending the holidays in Singapore with his family, and whilst there, he will show you the Singapore he grew up in. Get to know the things to do and see in the island city-state from a true Singaporean! The Zoom sessions form part of our Around Asia in 80 Days digital series to showcase countries across Asia.
