People love to ask where you live. In slot online larger countries, the city, state or town you’re from might say a lot about your socio-economic background, culture or approach to life. In Singapore, you get automatically classified into “Westie” or “Eastie”.
Having lived all my life in the west side, I recently moved to the east.
Not the hip and happening east (identifiable by a high croissant-shop-to-population ratio) but the far east (identifiable by how unwilling taxi drivers were, pre-pandemic, to drive you home from the airport).
Now, I used to be a hardcore Westie. I was as loyal as they come. The west is vibrant, convenient and packed with plenty of food options.
But I discovered something entirely unexpected: It’s nicer in the east. Specifically, I've had a lot more nice encounters in the east.
Every time I’ve gone to the nearest supermarket and hailed a hire car home, the driver has gone out of his way to help me load and unload my groceries.
At the lift lobby, not only do my neighbours hold the door open when I’m a good distance away, complete strangers have spontaneously picked up and carried heavy loads for me.
In my part of the west, making non-hostile eye contact counts as a friendly encounter. If it lasts beyond half a second, though, it’s grounds for suspicion.
Thank you very much for keep this information.
