Home away from home
I'm definitely not a home sick person. I love to be away from home, explore new places, meet new people, socialize, learn about new cultures (rather than reading about them), take lots of pictures, collect souvenirs, and most importantly shop. This outdoor nature of mine brought me to Singapore this vacation.I'm sure the one month which I am going to be spending here is a little too much to explore this small Island, but then what means more to me on this trip is, to spend some quality time with my aunt, uncle and cute little 2 year old cousin.
What I noticed instantly about Singapore is that people prefer to use the public transport like the rail or the buses, both of which connect every nook of the city and is pretty much convenient & affordable too. All this doesn't seem to hamper the number of sleek and cheezy private cars plying on the road. Despite all this, the place is least polluted. Another thing am astonished about is that, how these small eyed, straight-haired people eat so much and still manage to stay in shape. To this question I found the answer when I saw most of them jogging and working out vigorously in the early hours of the day. The last and most obvious problem would be food if you happen to be a vegetarian. The city has several food courts and eat outs, but then sea foods dominate the platter. Otherwise, Singapore is a very beautiful and clean place to live in. But then, at some point of time, life gets way to mechanical.
More later, till then, be good and spread the cheer !
