  Singapore libraries are really annoying for foreigners because they don’t let you use the WiFi.

  Thailand at least gives you a 1 hour pass.

  Not that anyone asked but my ranking of public libraries in Asia

  1/ Taiwan

  2/ HK

  3/ Thailand

  4/ Laos (private libraries are cute, but hot…)

  4/ Vietnam (Bring your passport!)

  5/ Singapore

  I haven’t been to a library in Japan or S Korea. I tried working from a community center in Japan but I couldn’t figure how it works.

  They should be paying them to meditate. That would be the more healthful and revolutionary course.

  Regular intellectual concentration is much the same be it game, book or reddit. And it makes you crazy.
