Home is where the heart is. My heart is firmly set in Singapore, my beloved country.
Only when you are away from Singapore will you truly appreciate how wonderful Singapore is.
The few days in China is enough to turn me off. I hate to say this but with all the technology advancements, majority of the people, unfortunately, is way behind in becoming "first-world".
Uncouth and inconsiderate are some choice words to describe those people I had the misfortune to brush past. They have no idea what queuing means and have apparently, too much sense of preservation.
Let's recap what we saw: naked man walking along the highway, inconsiderate driving antics, smoking like nobody business, etc.
Guangzhou is drab. The buildings are not maintained and the streets are even worse. The thing I really can't stand is them smoking indoors, in air-con places no less. I get it, they want to end their lives early, and their children's too, but please, leave our poor lungs alone.
What's the deal with smoking and eating at the same time? They must have a lot of money on their hands to keep on smoking and smoking. I have a feeling that China is going to lose a lot of its citizens due to smoking-link illnesses.
I think I have inhaled enough second-hand smoke to last me for a long, long time. I have to clear my lungs out with all those junk and impurities.
I admit that Singapore has its fair share of inconsiderate smokers, but at least, I can breathe easier in air-con places.
