A Sense of Place

From Bangkok to Barcelona, from London to Laos, from Singapore to Switzerland, this global perspective of ideas inspired by places is as broad in form as it is in content: A grasshopper in the Peloponnese reminds the speaker of a sweltering summer in the Okanagan region of British Columbia, Canada. Paris inspires a ditty about brief love affair, and nothing more. The confines of Singapore make the speaker reminisce about the lack of confines in Bangkok. A lonely Canadian working at a resort in Verbier, Switzerland, brings forth a locals’ view of the expat worker.
