Hello,

How heavily is the series based on the two of you and your respective partners? Any episodes that are an exact re-enactment of an adventure you guys had while living in New York?

P.S: I am completely in love with HIMYM. Sheer magic and genius.

My girlfriend thinks that they probably made everything look more sunshine and rainbows for while you were there. Do you think changes were made to change your perception?

Thank you for the reply! I sometimes feel that the media doesn't depict the situation very accurately. Many people I know think North Korea is one big concentration camp. I believe it is probably worse than many places but not as bad as everyone thinks.

My question is this: How can I help my friends, who may not be interested in searching through huge archives or listening to podcasts, to at least be open to being objective about the protagonists in our 'Singapore Story'? I feel like when I tell people that history is not quite what they were taught in school, I often scoffed at or told not to "cause trouble".

P.S. Thank you PJ for your very huge presence online which got me into exploring alternative sources of history (I love your podcast show), and thank you both for kindly doing an AMA!
