  Established by the colonial government, southwest of the Singapore River, to cater to Singapore’s Chinese-majority immigrant population, Chinatown is today a bustling destination, much like its counterparts around the world. Designated a conservation area by the Urban Redevelopment Authority in 1989, the neighbourhood is still referred to as “Niu Che Shui”—literally “ox-cart water”, a reference to how the area received its water supply—by some. The pre-war shophouses that once housed coolies, opium dens and letter-writers are now occupied by a mix of old and new: restaurants, souvenir shops, spas, bars and boutiques. The food stalls on Smith Street pay homage to hawkers of the past, and early malls like People’s Park Complex have gone new age with rooftop gardens. Reflecting Singapore’s multi-ethnic nature, Chinatown also interestingly houses the country’s oldest Hindu temple, and the prominent Jamae Mosque. We Love Chinatown offers a glimpse into this vibrant neighbourhood, as seen through the eyes of the talented artists from Urban Sketchers Singapore.

  Father of existentialism or the Eeyore of philosophy?
  
  Known as the first modern theologian, Søren
  
  Kierkegaard was a prolific writer of the Danish 'golden age'. A philosopher,
  
  poet and social critic, his key concepts of angst, despair, and the
  
  importance of the individual, influenced many 20th-century philosophers and
  
  literature throughout Europe.
  
  Dave Robinson and Oscar Zarate's brilliant graphic
  
  guide explains what Kierkegaard means by 'anti-philosophy', and tells an
  
  illuminating story of the strange life and ideas of a man tortured by his
  
  attempts to change the very priorities of Western thought.
