Must be the diet, less pollution - a whole lot of factors, not to forget less stress keeping in mind their lifestyle! :) I think Singapore, Japan and all those coastal areas have ppl who are thin, have the best skin and the best hair!

Fab India - There are all similar and we are different :) 3. Singaporeans still complain a lot. - There's a saying: People who possess everything want more and are never satisfied. 4. I doubt they will ever complain ever again. - lol... Shouldn't we make them commute on Hosur Road or MG Road during the peak hours? :) Loved the post :) Eagerly awaiting to see the pics

I totally agree with your observations:
1. women in Singapore are extremely… thin!-Had read an article in TOI by Sudha Pillai that S’pore airhostess were very thin and she was jealous :)
2. what Singaporeans are missing. Fab India — There are all similar and we are different :)
3. Singaporeans still complain a lot. — There’s a saying: People who possess everything want more and are never satisfied.

What they have done with the limited resources is praiseworthy but it is still a country with other troubles. We loved their public transport and it was neat and clean which can be expected for such a small country . At night we saw a huge rat near the food stalls that would put desi cats to shame ;-) There was graffiti spray painted in some areas. We saw a street fight between some desi and Chinese looking teen boys showing racial tensions exist. All this is expected in any country. The most troubling was the lack of natural beauty. It is a great country if one wants air con malls and fake/manmade amusement parks. The spectacular natural resources and historical buildings all over India are more impressive to me. I agree that it is a nice place to visit and the humidity made my hair go crazy while the girls around me had super shiny and straight hair, made me jealous! We should strive to improve our nation to be more like them. But it will take time since India is so large and diverse while Sg is tiny .

At 57 year old, me think I will enjoy more living with cows, dogs, birds and plants than in the Fine City State. And I thank You in advance. Yours truly: patriot. Maam;
