Fatum SG strangely enough people from third world countries that i know know more about Singapore than do "first-worlders" .... i have friends from colombia, Sudan, Kenya, Nigeria, Cuba, Nepal ...... they ALL know where Singapore is located ..... (along with bubble gum and caning jokes, and the usual compliments about the place ... ) what does it say ? ....
the.raven SG well, most western people think that Singapore is a part of China, even the British. I've heard comments from a Canadian immigration Officer (not sure what its called) like "it doesnt matter if you are from SIngapore or not, after all, Singapore is a part of CHina." I nearly LMAO.
Fatum SG another gem ... one of my programming team mate just discovered the joys of google earth .... so i asked him to take a look at Singapore ..... I think i shattered his illusions ... his question through MSN: " So is Johor Bahru china ? " ............
elindra SG Ok, I know this thread is dead old but I just saw it. I've gotten my fair share of guesses where Singapore really is (China, India, Indonesia, Mauritius??!! and even Papau New Guinea ) However, the question most ask (especially so online in games) "If you're Asian, why is it you speak such good English?" Also, they find it hard to accept that English is our 1st language and that we are a Country and a City at the same time
ditzy SG That's why I came up with something retaliatory. "Touch me and I'm gonna hang your stinking neck like you know who."
