Singapore vs London (from someone who has lived in SG for 20+ years and survived 2 months in London): Phone Safety 🇸🇬 SG: Use your $2,000 iPhone to chope a table at a crowded hawker center while you go order food. 🇬🇧 LDN: Keep your phone zipped in an internal pocket, inside a bag, under a coat, or an e-bike rider will snatch it in 0.2 seconds. Public Transport 🇸🇬 MRT: A 3-minute delay triggers a national meltdown 🇬🇧 Tube: You pay £4 to sweat in a 40°C underground oven that breaks down weekly. Weather Strategy 🇸🇬 SG: Step outside into a 34°C sauna, immediately run inside to a -5°C AC freezer. 🇬🇧 LDN: Experience 4 seasons in 20 minutes, declare a national emergency if it hits 30°C. Happy Birthday Singapore!
