GforGeorge's Profile

I moved to Austin from Singapore, and I had a hard time adjusting at first. The lifestyle was different. I came from a large bustling city, and I've lived at equally busy cities in different parts of the world too, but when I moved to Austin, it was so quiet, things were so laid back that even time seems to move slower. But that was about 8 years ago. Things in Austin are much different now, and I've learned to appreciate and love how leisurely things are over here. In fact, each time I go back to Singapore to visit family and friends, I have a hard time adjusting back to the fast-paced life there, that just seems so foreign now.

I do want to point out though, the one thing that is lacking in Austin is the availability of good food, but that's not saying there are no great places to eat here. In fact, I've found quite a few. It's just not many to choose from. And as someone from Singapore, we are very accustomed to eating well, making us food snobs. On the flipside to this bit of Austin setback, it encourages me to venture out and find that gem of a place which I can dub "my kitchen(s)". That itself is my favorite Austin adventure I indulge in almost every weekend.
