There are a lot of Chinese fall in love with Singapore because of travel,
Come here to play, live and live everywhere,
The proportion of Chinese is as high as 75% of the national population.
Some people say that Singapore is like a "condensed version" of China.
There is no difference in life, is this really the case?
Xiaobian interviewed many Chinese living in Singapore.
Some of them have even been around for more than 6 years.
Let's see how Singapore and China are different in their eyes
Singaporeans don't like to be called Chinese
When I first went to Singapore,
Many Chinese think that it is the same as Singapore,
He casually said, "We are all compatriots."
Unexpectedly, the Singaporean blackface corrected:
"I am Singaporean, not Chinese".
yes
They don't like to be called Chinese, Chinese,
It's Singaporeans.
I don't like to use "ten thousand" as a unit of measurement
Singaporean English thinking is deeply rooted and does not like to say "wan".
Ten thousand would be said to be 10 thousand, and twenty thousand would be 20 thousand.
For example, this car is so expensive, it costs 760 thousand,
The simple conversion is 760,000 ~ ~
But they still say "wan" when they play mahjong.
There is a concept of ten thousand, but not a unit of measurement
That's weird
Singaporeans are frugal
Singaporeans
May be influenced by the ancestors who rose early to go to Nanyang,
Get into the habit of frugality.
Old objects that are not used will also be preserved,
It lay majestically in the HDB passageway.
Singaporeans are not good at supporting their parents
Singapore is not like China,
Filial piety comes first,
If the adult child deliberately does not support the parents
It is punishable by law.
But Singaporeans don't,
Their relationship with their parents is like friends,
They don't support their parents,
Parents don't have to bring children for them,
Each has its own independent space.
Shopping online in Singapore is too much trouble
China has become accustomed to placing orders for an hour,
Delivered home immediately.
Use the e-commerce platform to buy a dish on the way to work,
The dish is already at home.
Of course
It could also be because singapore's internet speeds are too slow.
China has Mobile, China Unicom and China Information,
Singapore only has a fixed network speed of 50M or Singtel,
A mobile phone is fast,
Call a few friends over the weekend to play,
Network card to you doubt life,
You can only play mahjong or talk about big days
Singapore loves to complain
In China
Like the enthusiastic "sunrise masses" like to report very few people,
China has conflicts with people,
Erupted on the spot, there is one to say,
Who is right and who is wrong, quick battle and quick decision.
Singapore is different.
He'll write down your name,
Go to customer service or after-sales center to write down your work number,
Badge or even sales number,
Then complain, but also the kind of formal email.
Big things and small things, we must complain about one or two.
Maybe
As the oddor said, the debater Huang Zhizhong said:
The pride of a nation is to cultivate a group of picky citizens
Food language is very different
Chinese clams in Singapore are called lala,
The conch is called zuzu or gonggong,
Talking like a child, no wonder you can't quarrel
Pineapple is not pineapple,
It's pineapples,
Originated from the "ong li" in Fujian, China.
In the food cabinet you are used to water referring to drinks,
But don't be too surprised to be "burned or cold",
This is asking if you are a hot or cold drink.
In the same way, boiling water is not asking you to boil water,
It's the meaning of hot water
Loves to go out on rainy days
On rainy days, everyone always likes to hide at home and brush videos,
Eat hot pot,
And in Singapore,
Rainy days are "good days" for travel!
Singapore's hot summers all year round,
Only on rainy days can you feel refreshed,
Go out in Singapore without an umbrella because there is a canopy,
Pushing the baby can be idle strolling,
It rained a little to the metro station and bus stop.
Barrier-free access everywhere,
It is also a blessing for the elderly or children in the family
The use of cash is super widespread
Go to the food cabinet for dinner,
Go to Pasar to buy vegetables,
Go to the supermarket to buy a bottle of soy sauce...
Cash in hand, the whole island you have!
However, the inconvenience of online payment is still a part
Friends who have just come to Singapore can adapt to ah~
The bus swipes the card twice
Swipe your card once at the front door when you get in the car,
Swipe the card again at the back door when you get out of the car,
This is because buses in Singapore are charged per mileage,
Different destinations, different charges!
However, when you go to the car, you must take a coat.
Unlike Chinese more air conditioners are useless,
Singapore's whole air conditioner will really freeze "dead" people
Red and green fire is traffic lights
In Singapore, green is called cyan
So the red fire is the traffic light
Some people also call it red and green lights
