Cleanliness is Godliness

A colleague of mine just got back from the nastiness that is HK (hey, I'm from Singapore, there was never going to be love) and was talking about how much of a pain in the ass it is to go on work trips to countries where you have to tip for everything.

A: Yeah, like the chambermaid. Every day that they cleaned the room I'd have to tip them in case a different person was on that day. When I was at the Hilton they put me in a twin room, so I'd sleep in one bed one night and put the Do Not Disturb sign up the next day so they wouldn't clean the room. Then I'd sleep in the next bed the next night before letting them clean the room up. Two for one value!

I thought Singaporeans were kiasu . I guess it's spread to Australia!
