the best in taiwan is that you dun get to see so much bangalas,
indians, PRC and other nationals, singapore is like a rojak now a
day, in taiwan, as in korea and jap, we are more homogenous, we
know that what we do to help this country is mainly for ourselves
and our decendents, not for others, you may said we are abit
selfish, but that is how living thing evolve. As a taiwanese, I
feel the sense of belonging, in Singapore, I am not so sure.
Furthermore, in term of public relationship, we taiwanese are more
sociable and understanding, singaporeans are abit stuck up, tho
some are still good. And that is why forumers here feel that why a
gal like me can come here and talk like an adult and dare to
challenge the guy openly, cos we are cultured to be sociable.
Of course taiwan foods are nicer and places are more beautiful,
but we got tyhoon and big storm to take care of, and yet we are
able to whether the storm, so if you are going to taiwan, take a
look at their houses, built to withstand all these strong winds,
and hopefully, you dun go on a stormy season.
Thread replier is also from Taiwan like thread starter?
I perceive Taiwan and Singapore as the have and have nots.
Taiwan has all the internet chat rooms with webcams, they do big
charitable institutions like Tzuchi and also, they do bubble tea
and chicken chop. They basically, "feel" as a modern race.
Singapore has all the rules and regulations that restricts
internet chatting and bars webcams, the government is the biggest
godfather and the greatest good, and we buy bubble tea and chicken
chop ideas from Taiwan. We basically, "learn" as a modern race. No,
not "learn".. i think.. the right word is "touch"... no. We
"Ping".
When we no more idea, we ping the others for ideas. then we
submit to government, once approved, we establish, then every year
pay tax punctually.
