Just to sum up today's experience with a superior asian country:
-Dumami ang mga pilipino. Bigla ka pang kakausapin kahit di mo kausap. The population in general has increased.
-Food is way cheaper than in AU. Around $3.50 in hawker centers and around $6.50 in fast foods and food courts. So-so service in some fast food chains/ food courts. In australia you might spend $6-8 for a medium sized fast food meal, and around $10-15 in restaurants.
-Singapore is not the gunpla paradise that I thought it would be. I visited 4 hobby shops today, but only two stocks gunpla. Also I only saw one AC kit. Hobby Art Gallery has a huge selection of MG kits but I didn't bother checking the price.
-Mahal ang mga damit. Mahal lahat. Abot $150 ang mga sapatos at pantalon. Puro mga branded kasi.
-Transport is fucken cheap and convenient. I love the reloadable EZ-link cards that they use.
-Night life. Shops don't close at 5PM. In australia most shops are closed by 6pm with the exception of supermarkets. You could end up getting mugged/ raped/ bashed if you go home late w/o transport or sundo.
-Unusual use of words like using "Advice" instead of receipt. WTF is Curate?
-No sense of racial tension, people are well disciplined/ minding their own business. No hobos asking for a change/ lighter. Hindi rin mababaho ang mga tao. In AU you'll meet people who don't use deodorants or don't shower for days.
