I am in Singapore since three years and I had few moments where I really missed home. I never longed for forbidden fruits like Chewing Gum or hoped to feel some cold snow flakes falling on my head. Hell, we even have a casino and Formula 1 race now.

Handicapped people in Singapore, do they exist? Of course you might say, then I will ask you where are they? Do they avoid “the streets” because of the starring, do they avoid coming out because of the inaccessibility of most public buildings and streets?

Integrated Resorts, The Circle Line, Universal Studios…everybody knows about what the press tells us everyday, but there are more projects that are actually very worth looking at.
Here are the 5 main future developments I thought you should know about!

Not long ago I read a controversial post by fellow blogger Xiaxue, about Asian girls coloring their hairs blond, and how exactly that wouldn’t have anything to do with “wanting to be Ang Moh”.

Let’s say I was skeptical. After all there is an undeniable appearance of Western peoples or styles in advertisement and campaigns all over Singapore’s streets. The West is cool, big eyes are beautiful and being fair is the ideal. But is that actually really the case? Do we, the supposedly adored ones, maybe just wish being that ideal picture?

I just stumbled over a useful webpage that offers help in preparing your trip to certain countries by providing a summarized etiquette about that places typical local behavior, eating habits etc. And Singapore is also on the list.

However, I had a good time reading the “Singapore Etiquette” because some things are just so out of place. I’m not blaming the author because he/she probably has never been here and looking at the worlds map, Singapore is clearly an Asian country (with supposedly Asian etiquette). However we all know that Singapore has its on laws and rules.

Most times I love this country, this most untypical island in the tropics with its unique character. But there are other times I desperately search for answers without any help in sight.
Answers to strange things and behavior that I want to understand for not having to complain about them anymore. For the Ang Moh most confusing, for the local not mentioning worse. Please help!

Every week I discuss one of the many questions that reach me through my blog, preferable, the more interesting and indeed “weird” ones.
After last weeks ultimate answer to the most asked question “What Country Is Singapore In?“… I have a more unique one this week
