TWINS (OR BROTHERS)

19 November 2020 | One of the more amusing things about our living in Singapore is the frequency with which people ask whether Nick and I are twins (or sometimes brothers). So far, in the past two years, it's probably happened no less than a half dozen times and every time it makes us giggle. And it doesn't just happen with the older aunties or uncles, we've also had some younger people ask the same question. I think a lot of people around the world see people of certain nationalities or backgrounds as the same or similar and have a hard time making differentiation. And to be fair (but only slightly fair), we do wear the same clothing and we are both white men around the same age but, honestly, the similarities pretty much stop there. It is still fun to hear it and quite flattering for both of us since we both consider the other person more handsome.
