The Reality of the Singaporean Utopia

林语堂先生原话:“世界大同的理想生活,就是住在英国的乡村,屋子里安装着美国的水电煤气等管子,有个中国厨子,娶个日本太太,再找个法国情人.”

(Translation:) The famous Chinese inventor and literary figure, Lim Yutang, once said "The universal utopia of life would be, to live in an English home furnished with American conveniences and gadgetry, a Chinese chef, while marrying a Japanese wife with a French mistress on the side.

The Singaporean man's reality?

Nibblezware states: "A Japanese apartment furnished with Korean conveniences and gadgetry, American fast food downstairs, a Vietnamese bride, with a Chinese mistress on the side."
