What do you get if you:
1. Ask all the local Chinese members of your chess club and other random Chinese nerds to move to an island.
2. Kick out anyone remotely attractive.
3. Ask the remainding members to build up a country.
Then, you get Singapore. A country amazingly clean and developed, but also incredibly boring. The nerds have really gone crazy here, and the only thing to do is shopping. A rebel is someone who dares to chew a gum in public. Yuka and I had smuggled in some chewing gum from Japan, and we secretly chewed some gum after a spicy meal. Seldom have I felt more like living on the wild side.
There are fees and penalties for everything, and you are not even allowed to drink water on the train. Not to forget that it is extremely hot the entire year. I think anyone considering to live here should be granted temporary insanity.
Well, I love to exaggerate, but Singapore is really easy to make fun of. And I have not even started commenting on the pigeon English. Ra!
