haha...I think Catz is probably rite. I think all in all, AZ is about 3-4 years behind US & Europe. Adelaide even more laid back, I think 10 years behind. Most people here are not very well-travelled and doesn't have a global perspectives of what is going on outside AZ, and know very little about people coming from other countries, that overseas people actually knows more things, more techno savy, more exposed to many other things. Like the water shortage issue, actually there is heaps of water underground but I think we are not tapping in that sort of technology, not like some of the Middle Eastern countries. If they can survive in such harsh climate, I don't see why AZ can't.
About racism, sure will have. I know it exists everywhere in the world. Sometimes, I do wonder if it is because of my skin colour, I was given a different treatment. But I don't care lah, I usually just speak more assertively, more confidently and this will usually put the other party in the right perspective. Most angmos also scared to talk to asian coz they scared if they can understand their accents. Overall, most people are pretty nice and friendly, once you break the ice, most pple see beyond the skin colour. I think this place is going to change, lots of migrants have been very successful, taking up political positions, winning academic competitions, taking mgmt positions in uni and even this highly popular cooking competition called Masterchef.
Must tell you all abit about Masterchef, very entertaining. Amateur cooks from all around AZ auditioned for this tv reality show from thousands to find 1 champion. This year, it was won by this chinese guy whose dad is a malaysian & mum a singaporean. And last year, was this malaysian hot babe in the 2nd place. Some of our familiar dishes like salted egg, chicken rice, braised pork belly, pandan cake, drunken chicken etc were being judged by these angmo and they thot they were very good. One of the judges even mentioned tt the best crab he has eaten was at East Coast in Spore. Rolled eyes!
