Don't mind if i tell a small joke. My Chinese Singaporean friend went to France 30 years ago for vacation. He spoke to the subway staff and asked for some information. The French staff refused to speak English (and I was told that French are very proud of their language) and he replied in French. My friend was totally clueless on what he said. He suddenly thought of an idea. He spoke to the staff in Mandarin and the staff could not understand a word. The staff unintentionally and with no choice - switched to English. Mission accomplished.

French like to be a bit silly, if you play smarter then you win 😂🤭

I couldn't agree with you more. Singapore is a more transparent city and so are the people.

Right haha there is quite a good communication going on here!

I've always been interested in Singapore as a country at least to visit. I already speak some English so the language part is no problem. The strict laws I have to learn so I won't get into trouble.

If you are a normal citizen and not a hooligan, you should not have an issue with the laws in Singapore! Wishing you a good time when you get to visit!

Most Singaporeans love to boast about the savings we got from purchases lol. The more discount we get or the lesser we pay for our purchases, we love to brag about it!

@NewtoSingapore Ай бұрын

Now getting cashback or other discounts is so common thsat I'm pretty sure merchants bump up the prices 😬

I realized if I drink lots of cold water, I get frequent constipation. If I drink hot or normal water, the constipation issue goes away.

@NewtoSingapore Ай бұрын

Cold water "solidifies the oil", when I realized that I stopped drinking cold water right after eating something oily! And feel way better! Everything makes sense!

Warm drinks is definitely a Chinese restaurant thing, everywhere else is iced water

@NewtoSingapore Ай бұрын

What about japanese store? They always serve a soup like drink?

@melsgh Ай бұрын

Amadine, drinking hot soup prior to a meal as we can see are in Chinese and Japanese cusine. This is one of the way to kind of expand the stomach for food. Drink cold water contracts the stomach. As we age, cold water is not advisable for the body. Japese Restaurant here server very Hot and cold tea, we can ask for luke warm. :)

@NewtoSingapore Ай бұрын

@@melsgh But then if cold water contracts the stomach - isn't it better to eat less?

You can share your expenditure, but it is not advisable to share your own salary with others, I don't think Singaporean would like to share the salary too.

@NewtoSingapore Ай бұрын

At least my colleagues and friends are quite transparent, maybe depending on your circle it might be different! Those are not generalities still!
