A Comparison

One of the other students has a friend visiting who just got done with his military service in Singapore. His name is Abeer and he was originally from India, which I find hilarious given the radical difference between the two places.

Singapore is extremely clean. He is totally sanitary and well policed and no one breaks his rules. India is dirty as a dustpan and he does not give a shit about any rules or safety precautions whatsoever. If you piss Singapore off, he will fine your fucking pants off. India will probably just honk at you a lot.

Singapore is incredibly punctual. His buses won’t wait four extra seconds for someone for fear of getting off schedule. India is at least half an hour late to everything until you get used to him being late, at which point he shows up ten minutes early.

Singapore is too small to show up on most to-scale maps and is encouraging immigration to increase population. India is his own subcontinent and second only to China in number of people. Singapore will fucking kill you for drug charges and wants ten dollars a beer in clubs. India has a separate class of people who smoke pot all the time and sell blessings, and beer costs a dollar for a deuce.

Speaking of which, it’s Abeer’s last night in Goa so I’m gonna head over to the bar.
