Mapping European Stereotyping

Love it or hate it; Stereotyping still existed in this world.

Below images reveal the Europeans' perception of each other. May not be completely true, but show how it is; I assume.
The concepts is by Bulgarian-born, London-based designer Yanko Tsvetkov‘s Mapping Stereotypes project.

While reading the post, I wonder what is the stereotyping of South East Asia countries or Asian countries to each others.

Probably, Singaporeans consider Malaysia as affordable holiday gateway. Foreigners reckon Singapore as the stepping stone.

How Antarctica looked like in 1910s

Last night, I came across to a bunch of antique Antarctica photos in 1911-1914 from brainpickings.org. The photos are amazing.

We, my wife and me, always want to visit authentic places such as Antarctica, Laos, and Egypt etc... Hopefully, our wish will be fulfilled one day. :)

For now, I can only share the amazing Antarctica photos with you guys; http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2011/04/13/australian-antarctica-expedition-1911/

Some of the photos, at a glance below. Hope you enjoy :) Cheers!

Primary Concern

Like everyone else, our (my wife and me) primary concern is 'owning flat / house'; without that, we just can not go forward effectively. 
Owning HDB in Singapore becomes more and more difficult; even if we become Singapore Permanent Residence in future.
For latest info on Singapore's housing woe, kindly read this - http://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/singaporescene/mah-bow-tan-wp-housing-proposal-irresponsible-20110414-231219-148.html

Now, all we can do is work hard, save money aggressively, and  decide to settle down in a country.

Historically, owning the house is paramount aim for men. In old times, if one does not own a house or land; he was just the slave of the landing owner.
That's why; in every Good government's proposal, promise of providing land / house / flat ownership to their citizens is boldly highlighted.Like everyone else, our (my wife and me) primary concern is 'owning flat / house'; without that, we just can not go forward effectively.
