Kiadaw 6th Gear February 18, 2013 Share February 18, 2013 Agree. You go others' house, you respect their ways and beliefs. Asians (not just Singaporeans) mostly lack this respect for others. To say Asian is a rather broad statement. Anyway, many groups like people from middle easten & Norther Africa (not all, but many) have difficulties intregrating into other culture, not just Asians, & also, some tend to stick to their own group. From my own experience, I have seen some ethical groups that having lived so many years in the host nation, never make much, if any local friends! One particular group (which I shall not name) even wanted to enforce their own law, & demand authority to make changes to fit into their system.

Benarsenal Turbocharged February 18, 2013 Share February 18, 2013 I think it's a matter of mindset. If you keep an open mind, you will have no problems when you travel. It's always important to remember that the world is diverse, and that not everybody is like us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
