After coming back from Taipei, I realised that Singaporeans really need to buck up our Gracious-ness...

Taiwanese queue up to board the MRT, they stand at the side, allowing people to alight first before boarding... A sight which you can never see during our "PEAK HOURS"... Where almost all the passengers on the platform and people trying to alight playing a jostling game...

Taiwanese will stand on the right hand side of the Escalators automatically, and those who are in a hurry can walk on the left hand side (ours is the opposite, stand on left and let ppl past on right)... Till today, after so many years of implementing this rule, Singaporeans are still standing on the right hand side, blocking the way... (I'm guilty sometimes), maybe we have to implement a FINE on this rule, I guess then Singaporeans can follow the rule accordingly...

Over at Taipei, the sales personnel will be very polite to greet you with a smile every day without fail, whereas over here, dream on that the sales personnel will smile at you... Most probably they will be thinking don't mess up the merchandise again...

Well, another good point, is they are really helpful in pointing you towards the correct direction if you are lost in finding your destination... Appreciate the young guy at HouShanPi who directed us to Wu Fen Pu, the Security Uncle whose instinct is so strong that we have not even ask him, he already knew and pointed us to the bus stop and told us which bus we have to take (we are going to Leo Foo Village)... There are still many nice people around that are really helpful...

But nevertheless I have already start to miss hearing the Taiwanese says, “不好意识”， “借过”，and not forgetting the most famous “对啊”... And I have been called countless times 妹妹... No matter your gender, your age they will have sometime quite er xin for you... You can be called 姐姐，哥哥，弟弟，妈妈，爸爸，叔叔 etc...
