Walking around in the day is fine, not many harassed me luckily, they just stared probably because they have never seen a non-indian girl before. <br /><br />I also heard dangerous things about Brazil, there are streets to avoid but other than that, it should be safe for tourists... somewhat like Philippines. We take the safety of our streets for granted and got reminded of it every time we go overseas. Stay safe but still enjoy! :)Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519573577327538496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-40746778025421095312015-07-11T23:34:49.220+08:002015-07-11T23:34:49.220+08:00Hi Jes,

She was so frightened when people start pulling her hands. <br /><br />I was also brave once walking alone in Brasil until many people tell me not to do so! I heed their advice the second time I went to Brasil, bcos it's true that so many people were stab. Of course I m not the unlucky one! And also I must be responsible to my family nowadays so life is precious!

Pretty cool job you have to go there and get free sauna hahaha! It's still around this temperature nowadays in Vietnam and Thailand. No need bonnet, I feel that my head can fry an egg hehe.<br /><br />I agree we are quite pampered in Singapore, but it's a good thing that we know we are blessed. With so many Fortune 500, I still don't understand why they can't do something about their sanitation to improve their water sanitation. <br /><br />I will think twice before heading there on my free and easy trips haha.Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519573577327538496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-28902484941267019942015-04-22T22:27:44.640+08:002015-04-22T22:27:44.640+08:00Jes,

Can literally fry an egg on the bonnet of our car!<br /><br />My last visit was in Gurgaon, New Dehli 5 years back? It's much more pleasant going back as a facilitator to sell LEAN supply chain "koyok" in air-conditioned conference rooms. <br /><br />Was pleasantly surprised to see so many fortune 500 companies there? Reminded me of Shenzhen during its early days - man made, modern, but without the old world charm... <br /><br />Yup, I am quite pampered as a Singaporean :)Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-78651234768434617292015-04-22T21:23:50.030+08:002015-04-22T21:23:50.030+08:00Hi SMOL,
