My fave thing is when I take new expat Singaporeans to look at apartments in some neighborhoods that San Franciscans would genuinely consider ‘dense’, and they’re like oh my god I can’t live somewhere so suburban

Basically anything that’s like, not full of 20 floor apartment buildings is suburban to us

They don’t mean it in a mean way, they just mean, they’ve never seen short buildings before (like me when I first got here)

One time I was in rural Australia on a quiet country road and I wanted to pull over to take a picture. My friend was like, of what?

I said ‘of how there are no street lights! I’ve never seen that before!’
