Marseille is a much nicer city then Singapore: STAY there Bastillon, things will not get any better for you when getting to this overly crowded racist ang moh hating place.

1789.
Eric I really don't understand your posts these days... I thought you liked that place so much?
Or is it you don't want to share?

The bastille was of course famously 'strormed' on 14 Julliet 1789. Which is not exactly true, this was just the date assigned to the event. The bastille was a prison, known for holding political prisoners and was around for a lot longer than just 1789. Bastille Day is also the name of a song by Rush released on their 1975 album Caress of Steel. Here's a great trivia question: the key to the bastille was framed by the original owner and hangs to this day in what famous house?
OK, Bastille -- come to Singapore. If Singaporeans have been laughing at me all these years, then it has been behind my back as I have never noticed. Honestly, not one instance of this kind of behavior. This is a very multi-cultural, multi-lingual place -- like a mini UN.
Sapphire is right on this, (as in many things). Singpaore is a lovely place to live and it would probably be a smart move from a career standpoint, no? So, come to Singapore -- you can ignore Vaucluse, Eric and CD like we all do.
