India vs Copenhagen or shall I say, vs Singapore?

I was reading a friend's blog, who is currently staying in New Dehli because her husband was posted there by his company. In one hour and 15 minutes, I finished reading all her 47 diaries posted in 2007 plus some posted in December 2006. Well, I'm free mah and they were actually very interesting.

India, a place that I have never thought of going there for holiday, let alone stay there. I know I am horrible for discriminating this country but you can't blame me because all I see and hear are mostly things like the streets are very dirty, people are living in poverty, high crime rate, systems inefficient, bad traffic etc. You can imagine living condition there is a complete opposite to Copenhagen and I kinda pity my friend (Not in a condescending way but as a girl friend)

However, I do admire her greatly for the move to New Dehli in order to be with her husband. For love, she gave up her comfortable life in Singapore.
You may think that life is not that bad as an expatriate in India but from what I read, I will never have that view again because a lot of things are just beyond their controls. They may have a maid, two cars, a driver, big house but think of the inconvenience and frustration they have experienced when a cable channel suddenly disappeared while they were watching a program, traffic condition so bad that it took 4 hours to travel to the office and my friend's head was rocking to and fro because the road was so bumpy, they never knew whether the lighting or cable guy would turn up even though they have made an appointment.... tsk tsk tsk... if those are not bad, then what are? Oh one more thing, my friend said there is only 1 acceptable shopping mall in the whole of N.D. OMG!

While I was reading her blog, I did feel a lot in common between us. We are both very, extremely, super homesick. We miss our families, friends, food and a familiar environment.

Now, does this mean Singapore girls are not cosmopolitan enough to accustom to new countries? Of course not, we are just more sentimental ...... ;-)

I'm meeting Royana for dinner today and we are going to have Thai food. I shall have tom yum goong and fried rice later. Yippee!!
