had some sharing sessions during HTseminar lec today.. this tourism ger attached to contiki, was posted to Barcelona, Spain for her OSIP!!!!!!!!!!!!! imagine how jealous i was at the moment.. totally green with envy.. but well, i can always go sometime in future right.. but that makes the diference.. she WENT, for half a year and had a bonus of 14-day-tour of EUROPE!! seriously speaking, i felt like sprouting something close to @#$@^%$R but didnt. i really dislike comparison.. but it's like a once-in-a-blue-moon chance. once it's gone, it's gone, forever.. well, i just wasnt so independent to be able to work overseas alone YET. so OSIP hasn't been a choice right from the start.
well, the Macau sharing session makes me wonder (for a split second) whether i've really been to macau or not.. i know it sounds stupid.. but all i have is a recollection of memories, photo-taking sessions to be exact. not much of the WOW factor. so that explains why the average length of stay is only 1.22.. lolx.. so, back to s'pore context.. uniquely s'pore. how exactly are we unique?
tall buildings? nope. there are tallER buildings elsewhere.
rich culture? not really. the new generation wont be able tp upkeep the traditional festivals and what not..
multi-racial? even more NOT so. dubai has like 65% (or is it 75%) of the pple 'imported'. s'pore's 25% is peanuts compared to them.
uniquely shaped architectures like esplanade and icons like merlion? HAHA. pple have upcoming projects like The Palm and The World. icons like the 7* hotel. s'pore Raffles is insignificant.
dunno lah.. think until so cham i guess s'pore only wins in terms of great variety of food? hmm.. something to think about huh.. Macau has Macanese food! Malacca has Peranakan food, westerners have their fish N chips, HK has dim sum and cantonese food,... but S'pore has cleverly bring all these together and a whole lot more.. food paradise... yummy.that means pple come here to be well fed, when they're well-fed, they feel contented (provided they're not health freaks and super diet-conscious pple), they'll naturally feel happy.. when they're happy, they'll spend more, PLUS take back a wonderful memory. when they return home, of course by positive word of mouth, they'll share what a wonderful trip they have in S'pore. and wont that attract more tourists? lolx.. i guess i must be out of my mind, typing such nonsense in the middle of the night.. but watever~ i cant be bothered to make sense.. not now anyway..
