I got a Tumblr.
Also also. I've been meaning to write an entry about how developed Asian countries seem to stick to our culture more than we do. It's just something I've noticed. Their main dialect is still their national language, and not English. More often than not, the songs I hear playing on the radios are Singaporean or Malaysian or Hindi depending on wherever I am. Their cultural and historical landmarks are well-preserved. Heck, they have national parks within the jurisdiction of their capitals.
Is this the reason why they're doing pretty well today?
I wouldn't know, but it's worth a try.
Also, I've just been to Malaysia recently and I heard that Putrajaya, their city devoted to government facilities, was once based on the Philippines' Quezon Circle and its surrounding buildings. Funnily now, when you mention the Philippines there, people say in their Malaysian-accented English, "Oh no. People kill each other so easily there."
