Singapore Love Story in Progress
February 27th, 2010
This would be a suggestion for a nice romantic getaway. Going to another country is always the perfect way to make things more interesting. For one thing, there’s a pressure that gets taken away. In a new place, there are many expectations that tend to follow us around that seem unable to cross borders. This is very good news, especially for people who are typically nervous. Wanting to know outcomes is a sign of an anxious personality, and traveling in new lands always means giving up this need to know, and it’s a great way to learn how to give into the flow of it all.
That’s something that’s also a good lesson for romance, because when you’re with another person, sometimes it does feel like a foreign country. There’s no way of knowing, and no one around to translate. In Singapore, however, the majority of people speak English, so there’s a chance of being understood, and it’s safer than love, perhaps.
A dinner in an Italian restaurant is always going to be a good move. There may be two people in the world who don’t like Italian, and even if you’re gluten-free, chances are good that you’ll find something. This is an important principle in a relationship, to find something you both like.
Another one of the pressures that we lose when we’re traveling has to do less with control, and more with anonymity. Coming to a place where you’ve never been sometimes suggests that you may never be back, and with that comes a sense that you can probably be as free as you like. Sometimes we’re not so free because we’re afraid we’ll look silly. On a vacation, however, it doesn’t matter, and everyone looks silly, so it’s the perfect chance to find out who your partner is again, and have some lovely food.
