Just in case you needed a little nudge to read the Nerve interview with Grace Quek/Annabel Chong, a pull quote:
All my life I've wanted to get out of Singapore and to be not a Singaporean. It's the idea of how far I can run away from home. [snip] And that segues into control, the idea of taking control, because running away from home is very much a form, no matter how misguided, of taking back control of the things that maybe felt out of control in the past.
Following up to my link to my Annabel Chong comments and Nerve's article, Nerve today has an Amy Goodman interview of Annabel Chong. Interesting perspective, my original essay was written from the CNN and similar reports, this interview talks about issues like condoms and disease transmission and such. Once again a sharp reminder that my perception of an event is shaped by those who report it.
