Discuss about life in Singapore. Ask about cost of living, housing, travel, etiquette & lifestyle. Share experience & advice with Singaporeans & expat staying in Singapore.

Yeah, love her "How to act Indonesian" videos. And I've yet to find an Indonesian I've shown who was offended. Similar videos about Singapore would have the poor bule/ang moh forced into hiding.

Yup, will never find a video from ang moh talking about life in Singapore. But you will always find a locally-made video featuring an ang moh talking about life in Singapore.

Well, of the dozen or so Indonesians I've shown them to they all laugh their asses off. The demographic is a bit skewed towards young and female though.
