I was wrong about angmohs

I thought they would give during charity flagday very generously, but they are almost the same as singaporeans except maybe they do not get pissed so much and maybe slightly more generous.

americans are calculative .. when they tip, they follow a scale - 10% or 15% then ask u for change. Not like Chinese, can buy $30 and give $50 note and ask u keep the change ..Originally posted by subsuxor:I thought they would give during charity flagday very generously, but they are almost the same as singaporeans except maybe they do not get pissed so much and maybe slightly more generous. -
Maybe those angmohs stay long enough in our country to act as "stingy" as our government.Originally posted by subsuxor:I thought they would give during charity flagday very generously, but they are almost the same as singaporeans except maybe they do not get pissed so much and maybe slightly more generous. -

The current batch of angmohs are different from the angmohs of yore. Then they were the conquerors and were rich and powerful. Not now.Originally posted by subsuxor:I thought they would give during charity flagday very generously, but they are almost the same as singaporeans except maybe they do not get pissed so much and maybe slightly more generous. -

Where do you find these generous chinese customers.
Usually they are calculating how much change they should get back. -
Not only are angmohs calculative, some are also kiasu. I have seen some angmohs elbowing his way into the MRT.
After I've seen that myself, my perception of "ladies and gentelmen" changed. -
