Cold , Allergy, and Smoker

Air quality in China was really bad. The saddest thing is that the situation seems getting even worse in some northern cities. I seldom heard any people around had allergy in China. But cold and flu are very common, especially during winter and spring there. The virus and bacteria are much stronger and more effective than their American pals.

The most obvious first impression for Chinese visitor to US is air quality. Such blue sky, so many trees, flowers and greenness. The air is so crispy clean that it even hurts a little for inhaling. The flu/cold virus and bacteria are just weak. Normally, Chinese are immune from flu/cold for the first couple of years. When Americans line up to get flu shots, new Chinese immigrants are safe and sound. Even later hit by flu, we feel much less messy in US than in China.

However, an annoying uncomfortableness catches up. Suddenly from nowhere, I began to sneeze, feel pressure on eyes and forehead, with running nose and stuffing nose. I thought it was cold, it was not. Allergy is common in US just because the environment is too cozy and friendly. Teeny tiny things grow and hurt people. Pharmacy makes good cash on it. There are many allergic OTC brands. For example, I once took Claritin-D, for over 1 dollar per pill, and whole day of dry mouth. Unfortunately it gets less effective little by little for me.

People sometimes become so frustrated about it. They spend long and precious time to let the doctor figure out what causes their allergy, and the process is painful itself. One of my colleagues went even further. He took a surgery and had his sinus removed. No matter what, I won'’t do it. Tell you why. The surgery was so unsuccessful that he went back ER twice! When he was back to work after 2 weeks recovery, he started nose-bleeding, from nowhere, during a lunch . The blood ran out of his nose just like tap water from an open faucet. He fainted and were transported to hospital emergency room.

Say, the medicine is expensive, uncomfortable and useless for me. What the cure? By chance I took a cigarette. After a piece, my running nose stops, and I feel not so stuffed anymore.

Crocs sandals

Suddenly one special looking sandals get popular. The brand is Crocs. It even opens a brand store at Marina Square. The design idea is from Dutch wooden shoes, I guess. A pair of Crocs sandals is sold at around SGD 50. The price is justified for what it is made of - Croslite. Based on Crocs website, "Croslite™, a proprietary Closed Cell Resin (PCCR) which is NOT plastic NOR rubber. Croslite™ is closed-cell in nature and anti-microbial, which virtually eliminates odor. it is an extraordinary impact absorbing resin material developed for maximum cushioning. its closed cell properties resist odor, inhibits bacterial and fungal growth and are non toxic. this versatile material can be worn next to skin and be cleaned with just soap and water." However, it really looks like made of plastic or rubber, and the design is unique. Replica comes. they are sold at SGD 20, SGD 10, SGD 5 depending on quality.

Watch out this sign before you light the cigarette up. SGD 1000 fine! However, I wonder if someone had really paid so much for violation.

Prostitutes in Singapore

Singapore is very realistic about this issue. Prostitution is legal. The famous red light zone is Geylang area. I heard Hong Kong officials are considering to legalize this business in HK also. Singaporeans are not allow to work as prostitute. Maybe also SPR. The prostitutes are mainly foreign workers from poor countries in SEA area, such as Indonesia, Thailand, India, Malaysia, not from China. They come under special 2-year working pass, and must pass the health exam, yes, to prevent STD such as HIV, AIDS and so on. The brothels are mixed with normal resident houses. The brothel's house number is red lighted. The price is ranged from SGD 50 to SGD 200. Illegal sex workers are also around, and in some massage clinics. A very recent fatal case and newly effective government policy make a special social group - Chinese accompanying mom for studying kids a hot media buzz again.
