It baffles me how a tiny soulless city state like Singapore receives something like 20 million tourists annually, while rich, historically interesting, UNESCO Heritage approved Derbent with stunning natural vistas only receive about 300 thousand annual tourism, most of them domestic. Why is humanity so inefficient? Imagine if the resources poured into the promotion of Singapore as SE Asian tourism magnet allocated into Derbent instead? It can also have the side effect of culturally elevating humanity through history instead of vapid consumerism.
Why are you jealous? Do you wish they went to Indonesia instead, i thought they got enough tourists? Even me as a Norwegian has been to Borobudur and Bali, even Surabaya hehe. I liked Singa, but it felt soulless compared to Indonesia.
>>212300151 (OP)I have the version of this pepe without the background (and post it often) but I don't want you stealing it so I won't post it now
>>212300151 (OP)They count transit flyers as tourists. To be fair, we do too.
I always imagine Singapore as Tokyo had the British colonized us
But alas, the city must be associated with the fall of the British Empire, Britain's Manzikert if you will, because a POC wannabe imperial power started sperging out because the Americans won't sell them oil.
I wish I could live in Singapore, but I don't have any relevant work experience to make that happen.
>>212300151 (OP)Tourists want an Asian experience but they don't really want an Asian experience.
>>212300628You sound intelligent, and I like that Manzikert comparison. Anyway, why would you want to move to a shithole like Singapoor? To own the brits?
>>212301394I want to make a lot of money and give my future children a chance to be dignified East Asians who can expand their horizons in other Commonwealth countries.
Only thing that matters is marketing.
>>212300151 (OP)vapid consumerism is all you chinks do
