Different Country, Same Sh|t

I could have replied via a reply, but felt this is better.

I can understand your pure grief and angst, for it is no better in the UK.
Everything takes about 10 times the time to get set up, customer service lines gets diverted to India and people generally do not care.

But after a while here ... it makes me think a bit more

1) Singapore has one of the best customer service / support in the world, but Singaporeans don't understand in general and keep on complaining when things do not go their way.

2) (maybe it does not apply to you) The reason why services suck elsewhere is because people work much less. So basically, for me, the choice is simple - work like a pig in Singapore, get no time to enjoy entertainment anyway OR work like a human being, enjoy human rights and suffer rubbish services at times.

So yah ... do blog about your banking experience. In the UK what happens is without a bank account you cannot rent a flat. But without a permanent address you cannot open a bank account. Your accommodation is sorted I am sure so... you should already breathe a sigh of relief.

Take Care - we should msn chat one day, can do 4 continents again if 2007 Gav is online.
