where i come from (planet earth), there'd been plenty of gimmicks and advertising that so-and-so or such-and-such website has the best airticket prices. it's all fake and doesn't exist. what real (planet earth) people do is put some elbow grease in and some leg work and go find out actual price by ...

There is definitely racist undertone in Singapore. I came back to singapore afer a month in hanoi.
