This is Christine Minjae Chang, with a voiceover sample of a narration from Crazy rich Asians by Kevin Kwan. She could sense Knicks eagerness, and the idea of visiting Asia again filled her with excitement. She had spent a year teaching in Chengdu between college and grad school, but couldn't afford to travel anywhere beyond China's borders. Back then, As an economist, she certainly knew enough about Singapore, this tiny, intriguing island at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, which had transformed within a few short decades from a British colonial backwater into the country with the world's highest concentration of millionaires. It will be fascinating to see the place up close, especially with Nick as her guide. Yet something about this trip made Rachel a little apprehensive, and she couldn't help but ponder the deeper implications. Nick made it seem so spontaneous, but knowing him, she was sure he had put far more thought into it than he had let on. They had been together for almost two years, and now he was inviting her on an extended trip to visit his hometown to tend his best friend's wedding, no less did this mean what she thought it did Rachel peered into her teacup, wishing she could divine something from the stray leaves pulled at the bottom of the deep golden Assam. She had never been the sort of girl who longed for fairy tale endings. Being 29 she was, by Chinese standards, well into old maid territory. And even though her busy body relatives were perpetually trying to set her up, she had spent the better part of her twenties focused on getting through grad school, finishing her dissertation and jump starting her career in academia. The surprise invitation, however, sparked some vestigial instinct within her. He wants to take me home. He wants me to meet his family. The long dormant romantic in her was awakening, and she knew there was only one answer to give.
