Sorry, with all these cool and FASCINATING experience, you are still rating us as “not worth it”? Or was it a mistake?
I think if you prefer dirty places with dirty toilets to visit, there are plenty of them in Asia, esp in S.E.A., Singapore definitely will be out of the question for you ;)
Thanks for thinking that we have the best clubs, I thought that was in Thailand?
And yes, you are right about our Chinatown, it’s not as neat as the one in S.F. But we never claim we have the best chinatown in the world anyway. The Chinatown here is patronized mostly by foreigners, esp Chinese from China or ppl from other S.E.A. countries, most locals hardly want to go there, unless you happen to live in that area, or if you are old folks.
It’s strange that you came here with Tour guide, unless you don’t know a single word of English? Of course you going to get bad tour guide, not many ppl come here by tour, hence its a “dead” profession here. Obviously they will have that grumpy mentality, you can’t make tons of money by being a tour guide here, alot of them are just doing as part time. Some tour guides are even FOREIGNERS. It’s definitely not a dream job like those highly regard in Thailand, you know? Hence, you can’t compare with Thailand, because you can make a hell lot of money from that profession(lots of tips too). And if you can speak English over there, you can go really far, esp in their tourism industry!
P.S. Foreigners who come here through Tour guide are people from China, Japan, South Korea, Italy, and other non-English speaking countries =)
And you don’t really need to come here with someone. There’s tourism board and helpdesk in most major places and shopping centres to help you out in going to the right places of interests. As long as you can speak English, you can do just fine =)
