Recently, there was an instance where I suddenly felt trapped for
the first time in my life. As I was walking home, staying in
Singapore suddenly felt like living in a small box. 
My brother says he plans to keep going for work stints in hotels
all over the world. Not a bad idea.
At least he gets to control his own money,
even if accomodation is at a hefty 50% of his take-home salary.
it is such a good exposure to work in the US! if i were him, i
would too!
