About this ebook
Eye on the World is the third and concluding volume of Tan Kok Seng's autobiography, where he and his young family go to bustling Hong Kong. He writes with endearing honesty about a place that seems a lot like home, yet is vastly different in many ways, and this affectionate sense of observation is carried through a round-the-world trip he embarks on.
Told from the perspective of a Singaporean everyman, Kok Seng's stories and reflections about the world are told in charmingly simple prose, enriched by his penchant for looking at the people and things around him with eyes wide open.
