- Durians! - it's as simple as that. A fruit. Calorie-free* too! (well at least in my book:D)
- It's VERY clean - as in septic, sometimes.
- It's VERY green - it's at the tropics!
- It's VERY safe - as in, can go running at 2 am in most neighborhoods and nothing will happen to you
- Climbing with Sandra and Doris. A pleasure!! And sometimes, during my fat/weak days, a curse.
- It's summer all year around. Bring on the sandals! Skirts! T-shirts! Flip-flops! Air-con!
- For some of my friends, I am the only caucasian they have ever met. Or, after Crystel came here, their favorite caucasian. Ahem.
- While for caucasians I am of average height, bordering on shortish, here I am tall! My hair is light brown, but here people see me as blonde!
- The variety of cuisines you can find here is amazing!
- Fruits, fruits, fruits!!! Pineapple, mango, guava, papaya, soursop, dragonfruit, rambutan, starfruit, apples, pears, plums, grapes, jackfruit, DURIAN, mangosteen, all-year-round!
- TOM YAM! - my favorite soup, right up there with my grandma's borscht soup, I need my almost-daily fix of this spicy and sour soup. Or else.
*Apparently some people say a durian has 800 calories. Yeah right! These people don't know my truth: it has ZERO!

From all the places I ever lived, Singapore is the one I miss the most. :-)
@RME: did you or R like durians?! nom nom nom
We tried once. We didn't like enough to want to try again. I would try it if I get there again though. :P
