Singapore!
Massive shop
After Beijing I thought traffic couldn’t get any worse. I found Saigon that proved me wrong.
After China I thought girls couldn’t get any more beautiful. Taiwan taught me better but Singapore is not far behind either.
After Kuala Lumpur I thought cities can’t get any bigger or modern. Singapore proved me wrong.
I need to stop thinking it can’t get any better because it seems that it always does.
I think it’s safe to say that Singapore is one of the most modern places in Asia. However, I haven’t seen Shanghai or Hong Kong yet.
Here 90 percent of the people are business people and 90 percent of these have IPhones. First half day in the city was refreshing. I was just wondering the streets in my cheap worn clothes, and my damaged shoes with a strange smirk on my face as I roamed between the tall buildings. The hugeness of this city is impressive.
My first impression only lasted for that half a day. Soon I realized that people here are truly rich. Displays of fashion everywhere. Everything is too clean and boring. The subway is perfect. The people are too nice and considerate. Everyone having the same phone kills all diversity. I guess this is where Apple planted their brain washing machines.
In the city centre, right on the shores of the bay there is a massive Louis Vuitton store. It has it’s own building in the most expensive area of Singapore and maybe Asia. How many billions of dollars can there be in bags? It’s deviant to common sense. In Cambodia you can sponsor a child to go to school for a year with 250 dollars.
I don’t fit in in this place. Everyone is too happy. It depresses me. Plus… it’s too expensive to fall in love here…
