KARTer 2nd Gear May 14, 2012 Share May 14, 2012 On a more serious note -- some say life here is better than life in neighboring counties in terms of crime rate, cleanliness, ..... (what else?), but pple here seems to look / worry for the future eg if our children don't do well in school (average results look like "death sentence"!!), how to smile? If car/COE prices go up, HDB prices go,up, etc etc ---- no smiles also! Pple in other countries face similar, or worse, problems, yet they still smiles. Have we forgotten how to laugh at hardship, but still continue to strive?, ie have a bit of sense of humour while dealing with problems in life?

Kiadaw 6th Gear May 14, 2012 Share May 14, 2012 (edited) Read with interest that we are not that bad or worst place as survey been done. Here are the top 5 .......... The British, for their part, voted themselves "world's worst tourists" in a previous Skyscanner survey. If the survey was conducted in Singapore, we would have voted ourselves "World's Best tourists". The French reputation are well known, but some of the other results are debatable. But after my last trip to Frankfurt, I think I understand why some people say go other countries say people not so friendly, rasist or something, but I never notice when I was in England or Germany. I think that is due to me mainly travel in the small towns. I think its the big city syndromes. We had it as well. Big city people tend to be always perceive as on a rush, impatient, unfriendly. When I travel to the major cities, all the dough-bags are there, with their flashy cars & rev & speed at tight traffic, something you don't see in small cities or towns. The shop attendants are impatient & not friendly etc In Britain people are very friendly, but only when you travel outside big city like London. But a lot of people spend 1 week in tourist spots & make conclusion for the whole country. Anyway, I give you guys a tip how you can expect people (most anyway)can be friendly towards you, yes, you guess it "smile", say a polite & sincere "hello", say a sincere "Thank you". I know these words are very hard in our culture, but if you give a deadpan face like most people in Singapore, or most east Asians I see in foreign countries (except the Japanese, & you can easily identify the Japanese from the other Asian tourists, because they are usually much more polite, cultured, & smile when they speak to people).
