NOTE: So this episode aged quickly.
Paola and her friend recorded this on 7 Mar, a full month after Singapore went on Code Orange, and two weeks before Europe became the epicenter. It was probably before WHO announced that #Covid-19 is officially a pandemic. At that time Singapore has gotten used to their new normal, and there was no expectation that this will even spread across the world. #SocialDistancing and #FlattentheCurve hasn’t entered our daily convos yet. So yes, the general sentiments on this pod are now insensitive and out of touch. Our deepest apologies.
We’ve decided to keep this part in because...hell, we were so f*cking stupid two weeks ago and we need to be reminded that we are stupid, and also to show how quickly things can change. Times are changing, and we need to adapt fast, or people will die

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION
Paola’s back! After a 3-month+ hiatus from the world at large, Paola finally decided to break her routine to ride a different bus to visit her friend Laurie. They had a quick chat about the #coronavirus in Singapore (time will change), and to discuss how it was like to be a black-French woman in the country. They talk about how she went about looking for work (so different from Paola’s), how she made herself comfortable, and of course, racism (time will change). Scattered in between are SG shoutouts (I think :P)
