Singapore is clean, efficient, melting pot of cultures, but just about the same size of a pot. When a City State gets so small, where no matter how many turns you take, you drive by Takashimaya again, that is like playing an MMO but stuck in starter town. And trust me Singlish is funny to hear until you realize it ain't no joke. And God forbid you commit a crime trivialized in most countries, your ass will be caned with a cane soaked in horse urine so that the scar will NEVER fade. Think Survivor mode is fun in games? Try living in real life in a country where weed larger than a quarter's size = death sentence. Great place to visit, great place to harbor assets, a place to sojourn, but no place to end up for life. (Unless you get drunk and commmit some crime and do life with Singlish speaking cell mates) |
I don't know about the others, but a professor of mine and I were chatting the other day and he had nothing but good things to say about Singapore. I don't know about the stuff you mentioned, but he talked about how people their are taken care of from the day they are born, the government pays for their school and higher education (even up to MSc and PhD), medical expenses, as well as a ton of other stuff I can't remember. You're born there and you're pretty much set for life.
