Here’s a recap from Forrest Grump:

Q: What do old men playing chess, Buddhist temples, hot and humid weather, and the best fish and chips in town have in common?

A: The First Annual Singapore EyeEm Meetup.

About 24 (including myself and Pixbykm) showed up for the event at Crazy World Cafe (Great Hosts) and according to my son, the best fish and chips he has ever eaten. We ventured out in groups around the Chinatown area and look pictures of old men playing Chinese chess, Buddhist temples with incredible sights, smells, and a cool prayer wheel on the top of the building. Hot and humid as always as we returned back to our cafe for a slideshow of our photos closing the event with a short presentation by fellow mobile phone artist ABC.

Met new peo**ple and as it’s always the case, the photos and apps were the glue that provided the common bond between us.
