Singapore remains tops in terms of efficiency. But you know what, now that I've lived five years here, everytime I return home, I find Singapore a tad... soul-less.
Although travelling on public transport here can be dangerous, there are also nice little encounters. For eg. people always help ladies lift the baby trolleys and / or marketing trolleys, the train driver helps put out a platform for handicapped folks on motorised wheelchairs, and the old lady / gentleman sitting beside you might smile at you and strike a conversation. I was telling Pinky how I've grown to love these little things here, esp striking up conversations with pleasant strangers, hence finding Singapore soul-less on that front.

singapore is more efficient from the operator's point of view, not so much the users' though.

True... it's a utilitarian society. Or rather, a utilitarian government.
I'm used to the lifestyle here liao, where work is not the be-all and end-all. I work only four days a week now and I don't think I can ever return to the crazy Singapore rat race.

Think only 1/4 of Victoria is flooded, mostly in the northern cities. Melbourne should be safe and my area even safer. Thanks for asking though.
