bshall2015 - Racism is that last thing you have to worry about,
there is so many people - differend race and country all here.
As for your friend ? Let me paint you the real picture - you see
a lot of westerner when they come to asia countries - they
believing themselves to be superior race, and do not have to behave
themself and above the local law. They want to party like there is
no tomorrow.
After a couple of drinks too much drunk, loud, rude, pushy &
harrassing people, and do not take "no" from ladies - everyone even
the taxi drivers avoid him as he is trouble !!! - he just refused
to admit he was a drunken jerk - just blame it as racist
Singapore is great place - great shopping, great food. It is one
of the safest place - which a lady can even walk alone on street
after midnight without being harrass.
