-
In China, they aren’t called fortune cookies. Evidently they’re called “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
-
Comparing different cuisines in Asia: the McDonald’s in Singapore is far superior to McDonald’s in Seoul
-
Chinese New Year is the time of year that Chinatown vendors put aside their cheap tourist crap and bring out their cheap New Years themed crap
-
Singapore doesn’t subscribe to the philosophy of measure twice, cut once. They skip the measuring and then hack the shit out of things until they more or less fit.
-
The Merlion is an ancient Singaporean mythological creature that dates back to a time 20 years ago when Singaporeans decided they needed some ancient mythology.
Just testing the comments function…
when my people rise up you will be the first to go….
in bed.
Nobody in China has a fortune cookie after a meal. It’s an American thing, not a Chinese thing. I have a hard time explaining this to both American and Chinese friends.
And yeah, the McDonald’s in Singapore rocks!
Cheers,
An ardent Singapore McDonald’s fan
