Hi SJ!
Well, I will be one more of your readers,if you don't mind.
I share the feelings about some of the things you miss from Singapore. Specially the taxi part, the weather (although it is not bad at all in my home town), and of course i miss how safe Singapore is. Again, eventhough here it is not as bad as some newspapers say, it is no way close to what Singapore has in that matter.
I miss the food, and friends like you and AN.
Anyways, we'll be in touch. It is possible I will travel to Europe this year (Italy and Germany, maybe) but I am not sure. And of course, you know "cuando quieras venir a México aquí tienes tu casa". saludos amigo.
Gracias! Let me know if and when you are coming to Europe because it would be nice to meet.
No place is perfect and it is possible to be happy (almost) everywhere.
Un abrazo
