Singapore vs Toulouse

Was on a holiday back to Singapore for 3 weeks with my family after 9 months away. Haiz... Time passes and now we are back to Toulouse again. I'm really homesick n misses my parents, siblings, aunt and Koffee. Even my very cool husband misses his parents too and keeps telling me he must be getting old. Haha

I miss the food in Singapore. The convenient of buying food just across the street from my house and oh well, so cheap at SGD3 for a packet of chicken rice. The food centres close late too - nearly midnight. Means you can get your craving satisfied in the middle of the night.

Here, hungry in the middle of night? Cook it yourself. Hehe. Seriously, I think my weight went down after I stay in France. In Singapore, shopping malls and everything else mostly open everyday, especially weekends (it is the most busiest). In Toulouse, shops and malls are close on Sunday. Well, they emphasize on 'family time'. Some shops even have lunch hour - will be close for 1.5hr or so. Most play areas (example, indoor playground) are only open on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. As Wednesdays are a non school day for young kids. When my family first came to Toulouse, we got a shock when we go shopping and to run errands. We took awhile to get use to their lifestyle and respect it. Fortunately, our favourite pizza shop is open on Sunday. Yippee!

I would say if in doubt of the opening hours of the places you like to go, check out their websites or phone them before leaving the house to avoid disappointment.

The great things about living in France,  we get to drive out to other parts of france and even to Spain. Travelling to Europe contries are so much nearer now!
