Queueing - National identity

with the closure of the Hawker heroes competition, i'm sure many were not surprised that people queued for a 6pm event, 17 hours in advance.

 

for a shot at the famous 3 starred chef or for some FOC seafood, i'm not sure.

 

got queue = got demand = good stuff

seemed like a locally accepted equation now.

 

from Condo to HK to GR to 10mil Toto draw, we really love to queue, aren't we?

When it comes to food...

 

With very discerning palates of Singaporeans.. it is a very proven way of telling which stall is most decent among the cluster (not saying it's good, just RELATIVELY good).

 

 

When it comes to s--t like Hello Kitty.. it is actually natural selection at its best. All it takes is one drunk mofo with a car gone out of control...

No la, they do. Queue in Singapore means straight line. When PRCs queue up, it looks like a ball of a crowd.

In Europe ppl queue to visit museums. Queue overnight for rock concert tickets. Go wherever also must queue. Maybe except for China.

All queueings are mannerism to promote respectable identity, for me sometime crossing my legs to queue for toilet cubicle is far from endurable and my bad for jumping qeueu with deep apologies [bigcry]
