On top of that they messed up with my company's account and I ended up paying heavy penalty to the Inland Revenue but yet I could not throw them on the street or old age home should they be invalid one day. It is actually against the very core of Chinese Confucius teaching.

Less the sun comes up again with a vengeance. That's as much as variety in weather you can get in sunny Singapore.<br /><br />Don't be so hasty in firing Mr. Ting, we all know he needs another 20 years to warm his heart to some Aussie charm and warmth. Singaporeans are not well known for their courtesy & flexibility. A simple, "How's it going?" will only be met with surprise or blank stare. I learnt my lesson and just get what I need (minus the curtsies).<br /><br />I can't agree with you more on the US diet. Every portion is made for two for you. Just 14 days and I manage to bring all the bad habits back to Singapore. So remember, cronuts are bad for you! <br /><br />Such an enjoyable read Mr. Peter!

The Yak blankets sound lovely and I would love to own one especially if I knew that the funds were going to support education. You may not think that your charity is doing big things and this will sound like cliche but education changes things and people in big ways so keep on doing what you're doing and thank you for your charity's efforts in Nepal. I am still snickering at your comment about the shepherds beating the yaks for their wool. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574485055235941741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797123422303767634.post-27910797943055779932014-04-26T14:18:11.371+08:002014-04-26T14:18:11.371+08:00Hey Lila - thanks firstly for taking the time to r...Hey Lila - thanks firstly for taking the time to read my drivel. As I am pretty sure I mentioned in the post I have many American friends and have spent much time in the US and know there are a lot of great people who are excellent travelers. I too travel extensively. There are just as many ignorant and poorly behaved Australians (read my articles about 'Bogans') who shame and appall me.Sleepless in Singaporehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14706006947888675152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797123422303767634.post-67648762361797782322014-04-26T13:56:55.729+08:002014-04-26T13:56:55.729+08:00I am sorry you had such a horrific experience with...I am sorry you had such a horrific experience with your American visitors. I am an Asian American originally from Malaysia. A lot of your stereotypes about Americans are true but there are also a lot of Americans who are great adventurers and form the mighty band of backpackers that roam the world off the beaten path. I know because I meet many of them on my extensive travels. So I hope you will get a chance soon to meet more amiable and well traveled American visitors in the time you are in Singapore.
