Seen on the morning show that there are talks on public display of affection and how much is too much, etc.
Just brings back the memories that not too long ago, there was a period in the Singapore media and public about the very same topic.
And here I am, hearing from Australians that holding hands and quick pecks on the cheeks and short kisses are ok, but anything more makes many uncomfortable.
And I recall that the 'conservative' Singaporeans saying that they are still Asian and asking youngsters not to be too influenced by 'western' values, etc. Makes me think, why is it that it is always the decadent west ? There are conservative people all over the world !
Ok ok, so technically, Australia is not the west but the east... But you get what I mean ?

I think the defining difference then would be how the conservatives in each country handle it.
The most likely reaction here would be two or more elderly women with curly hair starting to murmur with each other, shaking their heads(visibly) and giving their side glances occasionally throughout the affair. Other than that, nobody dares to say anything or do anything directly.
But if they really want to do something about it, they'd rather safely 'complain to higher authority'. Especially if the love-birds are in student attire.
Just me and my many observations on public transport.
