asian correspondent trisha takanawa compares singaporeans to brits

s'poreans inherited some of the british way of living from 150 years of crown's colonial rule. you drive on the left here, use a three-pin plug adapter for your electric devices and cheer for arsenal or man united during your dinner at the food court.

however, you will never forget in which part of the world you are. when your bus/mrt train stops, you need to fight your way through to the door. no one will bother to move away from the door to the centre of the cabin, nor respond to any 'excuse me' here. despite a clear signposts 'keep to your left' at the escalators, you will notice an incomprehensible randomization of how people stand and there's no way you can jump over them if you're on a hurry. bumping into others here is fine as well.

ok, i turn on monty python louder. i like chinese.
