Malaysia vs Singapore

Untill today, i have met 3 germans with experience traveling/staying in malaysia and singapore. a colleague of mine is one of them and the other two are a friend of a friend of mine, and an fellow AIESECer. Well, i was quite suprised on all of the comments they made about Malaysia and Singapore but i can say that the three share simillar views of malaysia and singapore.

well basicly they like Malaysia better due to a few facts :
  • Nice ppl.
  • beautiful islands/nature parks.
  • nice food?? not really for them...
  • great night life and night clubs.
  • safe streets....?thats what they said.
  • great mix of culture. in fact they were really astonished on how Malaysian ppl got along very well (Malay/chinese/indians)
  • great all-round experience
and a few things they said abt singapore...
  • Too strict, you cant do anything there, even more strict than germany.
  • well thats abt all they can say abt singapore.
well, I was pretty supprised coz i thought westerners liked neat and tidy places.....so, the next time you try to praise singapore over your own country...think again..

tchuss!!
