*jun on the landscape - 新加坡

Done with my morning workout – i.e. taking the subway. I have to change train twice to get to my current workplace, and the platforms are like 800 metres from each other. So lots of meandering in the underground tunnels, going up stairs and down slopes. I think this is part of an attempt to prevent too many people from getting on the already full trains…if you can’t endure the 800 metres hike, sorry man, you just don’t want a train-ride bad enough. How do the old folks to it eh? When it is really crowded, which is most of the time, you can’t see the steps.

Since I have only been here for a short while, I still find the ridiculous distance between platforms quirky-charming. I usually start giggling after 400 metres cos it is just so absurd to have to walk so much.

Oh, and for the first time in my life, I have gripes about my height. Some fresh air in the subway would be nice. Also, I do not like being eye-level with pits. All those Gillette market penetration numbers we read in the papers, what poppycock.
