Empfehlenswert: Night-Zoo. Aber du kennst ihn ja jetzt bei Tag. Ein Land, das rockt, ist Vietnam! Meine Güte, da ist Energie drin, die wollen was bewegen. Und tun es auch! 1990 der erste Tourist, 1995 (1996?) die ersten längfristigen Visa. Und jetzt: Tourismus-Action, Mobilfunkboom, Städteplanung! Sieh Dir DAS an! Und falls Du outsourcing-Pläne hast: Danang (Industriestand am Strand, von Null auf 120)! Hi Rene,

My view of Singapore is slightly different from yours. I do agree on a few things - the strict penal system which is key in keeping a safe and manageable society. On the other hand, the kiasu mentality isn't necessarily my cup of tea (although may be music to other ears). Singapore can also be claustrophobic for a longer stay than 5 days. The true test of good citizenship also goes beyond the peripherique of the island. Reportedly, some Singaporeans do wind down their car windows and liter the Causeway between Johor Bahru and Sing as soon as they cross the border. It is a melting pot. And as a citizen of the world, I have always been pro melting pots and for that, I do adore Singapore. And Kuala Lumpur too (as a matter of fact). It is easy to implement rigid rules on small space. Germany may have its downsides but I can think of many different points where Germany diffenitely is better than Singapore (and it is not only about jaywalking - where they are equally strict in Germany - and people still cross on red lights or partying till late nights). Hey, Asians do know how to party right? Glad you had a good time. Sorry for my slightly less perfect view of Sing but as a Malaysian, we do not wear our rose tinted glasses at all times. :-)) I guess being Malaysian (having had the history of Singapura being part of my country) and also haveing frequent Singapura on every school holidays ever since I can remember … My view of Singapore is slightly different from yours.
