Kiasuism
I thought Singaporeans are kiasu - queue for Hello Kitties, queue for freebies, chop seats using tissue paper and rush for sale. Well, I was wrong. At least we queue. The other International students that I know of from the European countries (mainly Russia and Siberia) rush for everything - they push and shove to get onto the bus, sit right in front, and push and shove their way down again from the bus, even if they are seated behind and all those standing in front has yet to go down. They also don't bother to move to the end of the bus when standing, but standing instead at the front portion. They are also the first to sign up for company trips. It is really madness every morning and evening while getting onto the bus to and fro work. It is really survival of the fittest and fastest. I think a war is going to start soon here...
