Hello, it's not a "train", it is commuter rail. How many luggage racks have you seen on the Chicago or New York subway?Lindsaybkk wrote:I am an Australian living in Bangkok and went to Singapore for 5 days arriving home only a few days ago. I do not think I will go again , I found them rude, unable to speak English properly, unhelpful, and selfish when walking on the footpath just bumping into people and not even saying "sorry" . I am not sure if it's the enviroment there or the way they are taught but to me Singaporeans are just a bunch of snobs. I was never said "hello" to or asked by any of the Hotels I stayed if I needed assistance. In fact 2 hotels I stayed I asked for something and never got what I requested. But of course they like to remind you how much things cost for some reason, maybe in order to put you off coming next time. I did not find any customer services of value but I think Singaporeans don't care.
I also found returning to Changi Airport difficult as the trains do not have special spaces for large luggage as like other countries. I got on a train at City Hall and had to almost sit on my bag as the train was overcrowded. I do not think Singapore is tourist friendly anymore.
As far as I know, the average a tourist here will stay, is 6 days, according to the information we got from STB.sundaymorningstaple wrote:Eric, you, better than all the rest of us can tell us (what with your tourguide training here in Singapore) is the average stay in Singapore. It used to be about 3.5 days. Maybe instead of dissing the OP we should take a better look inwards?

The OP, while short-sighted and far too easily led, does have some fairly valid points. Customer service in Singapore is woefully behind Bangkok, or Shanghai or HK. SMS is right.
Eric you have made a conscious decision to live here permanently, you love it that much. Which is great, and I say, without sarcasm: Bravo for finding a place you call home and for making it work.
But please recognize, it is not like that for all of us. Just becasue we don't love it here as much as you does not make us delusional, stupid or spoiled -- just different.
And in that case you did what he expected by reacting to his bullying bullshit!Eric from the Netherlands wrote: Seems like somebody liked to stir up some flaming again with sheer nonsense here...
