Something amusing!

Do you know that a 35L garbage bag here costs 2 CHF each? That means, it's SGD 2.66, which is almost equivalent to a plate of chicken rice back home. Gosh. And for a 17L garbage bag, it's 1CHF each.

Crazy.

It's so expensive!! I was just wondering why was it so expensive when they wanted us to be environmentally friendly? If it was much cheaper, then people wouldn't throw their rubbish indiscriminately since it's affordable to get garbage bags! Then dear said that by doing so, then we would really learn to separate our garbage since the fines are so heavy here.

But then again, they have recycling bins for paper, cartons, and glasses. But how about plastics? Almost all the meat we buy here come in plastic boxes. Throwing them inside the garbage bag would take up so much space! It's still something I need to work out with, I need to optimize my garbage bag!! Funnily, i like singapore's garbage bags...so cheap, so big, and it's everywhere. You know, we could only find the right garbage bag that we had to use in 1 supermarket. Elsewhere, we had to buy additional stickers. So troublesome right!

And another thing, people here don't understand the word 'rubbish' or 'garbage'. We have to say 'waste' before they understand what we meant. Haha.
