Two cultures

We all come to Singapore for more than one month and I feel that the culture of Singapore is different from that of China. Chinese have the fame of modest, and Singaporean is quite confident. For example, when I was in Dalian University of Technology, before the “come-to-Singapore” text, a MOE officer said to me:” why don’t you look at me, do you think I am not beautiful?” Then I feel a bit surprised, because this situation is nearly impossible between strangers in China.
When I came Singapore, I find Singaporeans nearly do everything by the law, which is a little different form China. If you want to be successful in China, maybe you have to break some laws.
Now I think I’m so lucky to come to Singapore, because I think I can experience other culture, other language, other people and other scenery in Singapore.

  1. It's a new world for us to displore with our curiosity.We'll get used to this law-rule-everything country and make the most of it.

  2. You do not need to be so suprised. It is common to show off onself. Actually,it may be a drawback of us not being confident enough to show others our talents.

  3. What happens to you is so funny, I could just say that you are a lucky dog. I don't think we will ask such questions oneday, cause the original culture has an essential effect to us. However it's necessay to assimilate Singaporean culture.
