Similar, but reverse for me. My maternal grandfather was an Imperial Japanese commander based in Singapore.
My parents work in the Singapore Embassy in Tokyo.
I use very Singaporean things like Osim chairs, subscribe to the Mr Brown show. (Oi, le kua simi?) And I seriously cannot imagine life without chilli. (Most Japanese can't take even a little chilli.)
And worse still, thanks to my time in Singapore, my Japanese pales in comparison to my English and Mandarin (Higher Chinese anyone?)
Aiyah, how ah?
