| schestowitz | Hi Toby | Oct 17 18:12 |
| schestowitz | I've been thinking further about this whole .SG thing. The more I look at StreetView, the more my mental perception of the place changes for the worse. I might visit soon, but I might not. Based on what I can tell, their universities are well developed for particular fields, but not for others. Some of them look like buildings back from the 80s and all... | Oct 17 18:12 |
| schestowitz | I heard in .SG-hostile pages that a culture based around work (long hours, lots of discipilne) leave not much for personal life. The homes are generally small, so it seems to make sense. I guess the costs of staying there will help determine whether I go see the place in my own eyes or not... | Oct 17 18:13 |
| schestowitz | I guess I'm not so excited about visiting .SG anymore | Oct 17 18:14 |
