My encounter with "Singaporeans", I am not sure the people were Singaporeans or "Singaporeans", were quite a few unfriendly and ungracious ones even when I am toddling around town with my boys, 5 and 8. As for stroller friendly, can you imagine having a 3 year old and a 6 month old in a twin stroller walking around Singapore? That was the greatest challenge for me a few years ago. And, back then, I even fewer understanding bystanders. However, having said that, I must give credits to older Singaporeans. The people who have had children or/and grandchildren, are the ones who are the most understanding and helpful.Ying Yuenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04090667839612862020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119445855477656985.post-41019471365932110952007-12-17T16:58:00.000+08:002007-12-17T16:58:00.000+08:00I wish that had been true in China!

China is also not stroller friendly, but instead of helping me, watching me struggle with my double stroller became a spectator sport for the locals. It was a joy to come here for that aspect!Gina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03454230437607997134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119445855477656985.post-74927350928249632212007-12-13T23:41:00.000+08:002007-12-13T23:41:00.000+08:00That's really great, Bec!

And in Singapore, it sounds like it's a reality more often than not (as opposed to its being quite rare here in the States). <BR/><BR/>I was telling Kirk the other night that you have to walk something like two miles total for your weekly grocery store trek, with a stroller in tow both ways, on and off a bus at least twice, and with bags of heavy groceries on top when you make your way back. He could not believe it. But I told him it's really, really true. :)christiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278757714101308785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119445855477656985.post-55598619430398169272007-12-13T14:42:00.000+08:002007-12-13T14:42:00.000+08:00Oh!

I would tote Hayden around on the buses and I remember exactly what you're saying. <BR/><BR/>Except, SF isn't kid friendly. Had Hayden been a dog, we could have traveled anywhere we liked. Being a human baby, he was looked on with more disdain than tender-heartedness. <BR/><BR/>I am *very* glad for you that the Singaporeans are much more friendly and helpful!Kendra Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11762184032404428343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119445855477656985.post-32535995132780963122007-12-13T11:24:00.000+08:002007-12-13T11:24:00.000+08:00nice to hear about some places still have thoughfu...nice to hear about some places still have thoughful people around...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119445855477656985.post-73754990606004190452007-12-13T10:14:00.000+08:002007-12-13T10:14:00.000+08:00That is a lovely anecdote, and makes me feel so mu...That is a lovely anecdote, and makes me feel <I>so</I> much better about you and my grandson tooling about the city!not2brightGRAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546997993475013394noreply@blogger.com
