I’ve been lurking around over there and have probably read about half of these posts. Had no idea about this place really. Looking forward to reading through all on them in sequence soon.
I did read all of them. Its some of Aarons’ worst writing. Singapore is a turd bucket.
Didn’t we discuss your objections on my other blog? Your perceived problems with Singapore I view as distinct strengths. It’s different strokes for different folks, it seems.
Different strokes for different folks. Yes it is.
