Ok, so regular reader Kuriko asked a question. If I were to choose between France and US, which would I prefer and why? The thing is, the question isn't so simple. Cos France or US, isn't like Singapore. In Singapore, there is only one Singapore. The lifestyle in Tampines is pretty much the same as Jurong. However, in France or the US, or any big countries, there are many different faces of France, or different faces of the US. I've heard stories of other parts of France, like Toulouse, Lyon, Normandy, etc. People have told me that the lifestyle there is very different from Paris. Less crowded, people are nicer, slower pace of life, etc. Same as in the US, San Frans, New York, Los Angeles, etc, more homeless, more social issues, more expensive, more people, so people rush around more, etc... So to answer the question, at best I can only answer, Paris vs Houston....
