Hello guys and gals, I haven’t written anything for a while now (and I know you have missed miss so much). Well, work and else have kept me pretty busy over the past few weeks.

I know most of you are in the cold winter or preparing to get into it. You’ll be happy to know that in Singapore there is no such thing as winter; indeed, average temperature last week was 30°C… Sorry 🙂

Anyway today I thought I’d write about similarities I’ve seen between Singapore and the United Kingdom.

Having had a chance to live in London, I can say I somewhat feel the British way of life/doing things here in Singapore. I’m neither talking about the shitty weather (hehe, while writing current temp. is 28°C) nor the famous fish and chips (here there is way more food variety – check it out  ==> Food section of my blog). No, here, I’ll be talking about easy and recognizable legacy of Britain’s influence.

It start with the used of the English, haha, ok I know easy one…(but FYI English is the official language along with Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil)

More seriously the first obvious thing is left hand traffic; if you’re not used to it make sure to always check the road when crossing and remember to always look RIGHT, LEFT & RIGHT!

Another easy reference to the UK is the public transportation buses; you know the famous double-decker bus, you’ll find a bunch of them here. I must say they are not as stylish as the one in London. See for yourself below.

I think we all agree, London red double-decker buses are way sexier!

Also if you’re in Singapore, you could be a lucky one and get pick up by the famous hackney cab, you know the taxi limousine type.

In addition to the above, there are many others things that will remind you of the UK, like the strong fan base of the Premiership (England’s highest-level football league) especially Liverpool (Boooo!) but mostly as one would expect Manchester United (Yeaahhhh!).

PS: Next week I’m off travelling somewhere in Asia; stay tuned by Liking Singapbyart facebook page as I will be posting pictures in the blog but mostly on the page.
