My Spicy Story: When I was young, I found myself in the strange position of being the least-tolerant to spicy food in my family, but easily above all my classmates in school. I believe spicy food transcends borders, and through this project, I hope to bring the world closer together through our shared culinary culture.
William Tan
Photographer
Cameras are great teachers. Thanks to photography, I discovered a new way of seeing the world, it helped me to develop a great sense of observation, to be more tolerant and open minded by seeing the beauty in everything, I feel closer to the reality. A camera is a great tool to change the world, wherever I go on a mission, I use my camera to testimony about topics that are important to me.
My Spicy Story: Chilies are part of my travels, everywhere I go, I try to get spicy food, there are so many ways to cook chili and it is always fascinating. A world without chili is unthinkable, I’m definitely a chili lover !
John Chuidian
Phillippines Researcher

My Spicy Story: Chilies mean packing an extra punch to food for him. They also mean punching the person who used the wrong chilies for his food.
