Recently, there has been a research that found out that Singaporean walk the fastest in the world. Initially, I was quite amused and surprised with the outcome. I mean, why this type of research exist!!

^^^^^^ 

Anyway, why I’m writing this today come down from a conversation from a colleague from another department. He is from China and just started work recently. He lives not far from me. A few times, we were in the company bus but didn’t acknowledge each other. However for two mornings straight, we started work the same time.

^^^^^^ 

Today, we finally break the ice between us and chat a bit. One of the questions I asked him is that how he is adapting to the new environment. He is coping ok but need some time to get used to the environment. That I agreed. Then he mentioned something abt the research on Singaporean walk fastest in the world.

He said that the pace here is a lot faster than in Jiangsu, the province where he come from, and so he added:

He: Yeah, I think I need to catch up a bit with the speed.
Me: Oh…I didn’t really notice the pace maybe because I have been here for a while.
He: Yeah…compared to China, it is a lot faster. And I also notice that the ants in Singapore crawls faster than in China!!!
Me: !!!?!!
He: yeah! It’s is true!! The type in China really din crawl fast!!
