OK, I've been in Singapore for 5 days now
I've also noticed that there are hardly any "full figured people"
I have a
Fat Count going, yes that sounds discriminating, but I'll do a
White Count too for those who think what I'm doing is bitchy/mean/rude. But when you're in a foreign country you notice this small stuff.
Fat Count: 11 (this includes tourists too)
It's amazing how small everyone is.
I don't know if it's the portion sizes, the consumption of soups/noodles, or the walking but the people are TINY, and they are still on diets! Just more proof on how unhealthy Americans are, granted walking everywhere isn't really an option for us.
I've noticed (heard) there are a lot of Australians too, I guess since they aren't too far from Singapore.
White Count: i'm over this one, too many to count :)
The Indian population is considered a majority here, but the smallest of the 3 Majorities (Chinese, Malays, Indian) They are typically the construction workers, sound familiar?
If you go into a mall, there is always a grocery store inside. Talk about one stop shopping.
If you are interested in purchasing hair dye, your options include Black, Brown/Black/or Reddish/Black.
You will maybe find one box for a dark blond color. Good thing I can't pull off blond or id be screwed.
They don't use the letter "Z" here...Utilise, Specialised, Organisation, Recognise
The letter isn't used enough as it is, why hate on it and neglect it from words it's intended for?!
Singaporeans are a food driven culture, if they see a queue (line) they join it not exactly knowing what they are in for. They assume if so many other people want it, then they will
This practice is brought to the states when you see Asians swarming department stores :)
(I can say this from experience!)
I've already had so many different types of food, I'm having the girls that take me to lunch email me what everything is called because I just let them order for me.
I'll have to make a separate post for just my food experiences here!
EVERYONE smokes here, you can't smoke inside, but when you are walking down the street everyone has a cig lit up.
If you get caught throwing your cig butt down you will be FINED!
(even though I see PLENTY on the streets, it's S$500 for the ticket)
I haven't seen a proper dance off, but considering my surroundings, I'm sure to see some ABDC shit while I'm here.
Please don't take anything that I'm saying as being racist, like I said: these are merely
observations.
