Singapore 2

Singapore though small cannot be a single post... I can talk quite some stuff on it. May be at least my blogging gets better.. Just hope.. ;)

Anyways what do I talk about? The culture here is pretty good, european or american.. whatever you want to call it. Probably it is because the population dominated by professionals and rich people helps, but not just that definitely. Rules helps as well.

Here is place where, when you walk through the road with your dog for a walk you should be carrying a bag with you to clean up in case Dog decides to poop in mid walk. The way discipline is maintained is surprising, provided i hardly see a cop car on the road. How many people will do the same thing somewhere in India where rules are not kept even if a policeman is around, thinking that we can bribe him a small money to prevent yourself from getting fined. May be even the bribe is too high or the penalty for accepting a bribe is too high and risky to attempt it.

Another thing is this is a safe place and a well connected place with good public transport facilities. Last day I was waiting for the public transport, I just noticed a little girl around 8 years old also waiting for the bus all alone. Her name was "eleanor" I think because the book she was reading had it written on it. The thing I was amazed at seeing the confidence and easiness with which she was travelling. I wouldn't be confident enough sent a little girl around like that in India.

But then life here pretty different I say. i had say it does well to keep it tourist friendly and attractive, sometimes it is costly to spend the money to enjoy the attractions. But being on this small island you can see a lot of stuff, some may be a copy of western counterparts, but it has which boasts of being the best or biggest or unique in the SE Asia or the world, some beautiful skylines. May be for a newbie to foreign land does find that a lot interesting.

Life is not bad, when there is places to hang out, when a country is walkable from one end to another in a day or two at max... ;) and you have amazing public transport systems and you have a lot of time to waste and you are lonely. It is fun.. Just fun.. More to come... :)
