People Everyday
doing what they do
07.01.2008
Singapore is one of the most diverse countries I have ever been to. Ever.
Yes, America is also very diverse. But not when you live in suburban Indiana. Korea is nowhere even CLOSE to being considered diverse. If you are not ethnically Korean, you will usually stick out like a sore thumb. I still receive stares on a daily basis, on the subway train that I take every day, to and from work.
So coming to Singapore where I hardly stand out (except maybe in Little India, where I was staying) was certainly a breath of fresh air.
The people are friendly and polite and more than willing to help you if you flail around, looking helpless.
These are just things I noticed.
Also, no one spits on the street. (More so because it is illegal, I think...)
