Excuse Me Miss, You’re in My Way!
By John | July 17, 2008
Singapore is crowded, period. It’s one gigantic city with loads of people moving about at a zillion miles an hour. Everyone’s got places to go, things to buy, and some have to be back at work since they’re on lunch. Including me.
When walking through the city streets you’ve got to keep your eyes open and plan your route at least two steps ahead. It’s like a game of urban speed chess. I laugh a little inside every time I see a blonde westerner moving every which way in the hopes of protecting her personal “bubble”. This…is…SPARTA woman! Just pick your feet up, look straight ahead and use your eyes to let the other people know that you’re walking with a purpose!
Maybe I have it easy because I wear a suit and tie and have a sh*t-eating grin on my face half the time. I dunno, but if we’re coming toward one another in the same general path, you’d better get out of my way!

What constitutes a check-mate in this Urban Speed Chess?
