Strane usanze

October 12, 2008 // Posted in Travels  


Al di la’ del cibo e del clima, per il resto lo stile di vita qui e’ molto “occidentale”, come gia’ raccontato nei post precedenti. Pero’ ci sono dei dettagli, delle peculiarita’, che restano comunque un po’ sorprendenti. I cantieri ad esempio sono sempre aperti, 24 ore su 24, e anche il sabato e la domenica. La manodopera e’ prevalentemente di origine indiana, e nei periodi di pausa gli operai passano il tempo seduti sui prati ai bordi del cantiere, chiacchierando o telefonando. L’altra peculiarita’ e’ che, per raggiungere i cantieri, viaggiano seduti sul retro dei camion. Cosa che, da noi, non mi e’ mai capitato di vedere.



Weather and food are the main differences compared to Italy, but lifestyle here at Singapore is not so different from the typical one in West Europe or United States. However there are some peculiarities, some strange details that become evident to a foreign observer. I’ve already noted that construction sites are always working and mainly populated by people from India. But another strange thing is that the builders travel on the back of the trucks to reach the construction sites.
