Then she say: are you a sporean?this place very well known 1 and you dunno where it is? To make things worse,she said it in a fierce tone,partically scolding me!
I just say sorry again and walk away. I should have given her a extreme wrong address and make her walk for hours and still cant find the place.![]()
its means to go out more often, by walking!Originally posted by dakkon_blackblade:Sometimes when I walk along Orchard or City area and see tourists walking around with maps and looking a little lost, I feel a slight tinge of anxiety. I fear that if they ask me about the location and directions to some place, I might not be able to tell them, and hence would bring shame onto myself and my fellow Singaporeans. Which makes me wonder how well do Singaporeans know their own country geographically? Most Singaporeans tend to just take public transport than walk, even if it's just a pretty decent walkable distance, so I don't suppose they'll know much about how to navigate on foot in the city area, unlike urban dwellers in many other cities, where one's own two legs are often the best and preferred means of transport.
After taking up street photography as my freelance/hobby, I seem to be well-versed on the streets and heritage places..and I feel good that I've sent a tourist on the right way many a time.Originally posted by dakkon_blackblade:Sometimes when I walk along Orchard or City area and see tourists walking around with maps and looking a little lost, I feel a slight tinge of anxiety.
