About Singaporeans

Have I evet told you how I feel about Singaporeans? Well here it comes, whether you like it or not. They are the most naive people I've ever met. They haven't been anywhere and it can be real hard for them to understand that there's a totally different world out there compared to theirs. One of us told to her classmates that she had been engaged and lived with her boyfriend for 3 years. And guess what her classmates asked horrified, "You didn't kiss with him, did you!?" Then they have asked that "what happened to your eyebrows?" when one day my friend hadn't put make up on. Some muslims also asked from my friend that did she have big boobs because she ate pork and if they would eat it would they get bigger boobs!!

They are also very rude at times. They ask you personal questions and stare at you and they try to get into elevators and metros before people have been able to come out. They won't give their seats to older people in a bus and the most irritating thing is that they walk extremely slowly and stop in the middle of street with out a warning to think about something so that you'll bumb into them.

It's not like they all would be annoying, but somehow after my period here I don't think Asia is a place for me. This is a beautiful area, but there's too many people. I guess sometimes you just have to go far to start appreciating the things about your own home country. The first thing I'm gonna do when I get back to Finland is that I'll just eat for 24 hours, Finnish home food rules!!, jump into car and drive around to see all of my fantastic friends, go to sauna and just enjoy the fact that there's only 5 million people living in Finland scattered around the 6th largest country of Europe.
