Day 02: Old People Work Here

Wow. lots of really old retired people are actually working very hard here. Instead of putting them on welfare or homes the government here makes them work hard for the money. Good thing I guess. Keeps them active and give them a purpose in life, and a sense of independence. I guess.

People are always in a rush. I'm starting to walk as fast too. Hahaha.

Can't update anymore. Feeling too tired. Need to pass out. Thinks it's from all the walking. At least I'm exercising. :)

Goodnight.

  1. How long are you in Singapore for again? Can't wait to read Day 365 post. If you're going to be there for a long time, I'll do some research and try to find you some nice places to eat good Malay food.

  6. I never thought of it until you pointed it out. Yes, old people are working everywhere, and people walk fast. All in all, the pace here is a bit faster, in all aspects ie. walking, eating, talking, texting on the phone and swiping your credit card. I was a zen person. Now I get rather impatient and hot-tempered, then I know it's time to slow down.
