My Little Japan with Megumi Nakazawa
Unlike other programmes in this series, Megumi will not be taking you to a Japanese restaurant or supermarket but back in time as she shares her journey of negotiating her Japanese identity and its baggage in Singapore.

What you’ll do:
Straddle between the past and present on this tour as Megumi takes you to some places in Singapore that mean a lot to her personally! Megumi will be sharing more about her journey reconciling her Japanese identity while living in Singapore as she confronts its historical baggage. Difficult but honest and necessary conversations will arise in this unforgettable experience.
Introduce yourself
Hello everyone! I am Megumi and I’m from Japan but am a Permanent Resident in Singapore. I have been living in Singapore since 2004 so my life is very localised. In fact, many of my local friends say I am more Singaporean than some other Singaporeans. I can speak Singlish very well too!
To me, Home is…
Where your heart is.
What is your favourite thing about Singapore?
I love everything about Singapore: the people, tropical weather, local food, multiculturalism, the abundance of greenery… The list goes on and on. I still remember when someone once asked what my hobby is, I told them my hobby is Singapore. I really love this small country with a big heart.
