The premise was as A and I were waiting to deplane after landing in Singapore three weeks ago. We sat in the last row of a 777-200 so we had two seats by ourselves. The conversation was between the passenger sat next to me across the aisle and the flight attendant - both $ingaporeans. They both were saying how bad Shanghainese food was. The passenger had been working in Shanghai for 7 years and he hated the food in Shanghai. Ummm.... The flight attendant too, she said too oily... Well, she did have a figure she needed to keep for the uniform. Scary part was, both of them never fully aware that their conversation volume was high. I heard every word of it. I should have typed recorded it with my Steve phone and then play back as an example of sincere conversation. These two people never bother to venture to eat anywhere or to seek for recommendations. I could not believe what I was hearing. And 7 years on greasy food? Obviously, none of them shifted from their "stuck" view or rather their Schticks.
Hey buddy, there are lots of nice restaurants - clean and all... open the eye lids wider or do a search online. Better yet, there's a weekly magazine outlining the restaurant scenes. Wagas offers nice healthy food. Gourmet Burger - vegetarian burgers and oven baked sweet potatoes.
Did I offer to help these two people in conversation? No, I was in my Schtick - " You are not worthy of my assistance; I watch you suffer, A$$ h0!e". I would offer my recommendation if we were in-flight actually. I was in a rush.. Yeah, yeah, excuses, excuses. In my Steve phone I had a category for nice Shanghai restaurants to offer.
Funny, this encounter was the 3 of sort I experienced from Singapore - opinionated not willing to change. Umm......
