  Does anyone else here find the western culture more independent as compared to the asian culture? It's like most americans start moving out of their house at 18 whereas singaporeans in general only move out of their house when they get married etc.

  staying alone does not qualify as independent

  it is just their culture

  their sch or workplace simply too far from home. so they is bo bian.

   

  if you wanna compare western vs asiain, taiwan young adults also move to stay on their own

   

  in SG, not we do not want, is we do not have the ability because the rental is too expensive and we have to fight with foreigners for space.

  we is bo hua.

  Do the Americans rent an apartment by themselves independently? I wonder where can I stay if I choose to be independent like them.
