I agree with what u say sir but I think the masjid scene in the USA is better. All kinds of Muslims come together eg Arabs , Indians, Pakistanis, bangladeshis, Egyptians, Caucasian and speak in English.
Khutbahs, talks , every thing is in English!!! And I like that there are many Pakistanis and Indians , (Urdu speaking ones) in the masjids too (If I want to feel more at home)
Also, in the USA, most schools have Muslim students associations (MSA). Quran classes are available and that too in English and Arabic.
In contrast, Singapore doesn’t have English Quran classes. When I was growing up in Singapore we had a maulvi sahab who taught us and came home. Most of Quran class At masjids were taught in Malay, very frustrating for me. And most people who attend mosques are Malays and they all speak in Malay! Friday khutbah in Malay as well… (anyways not many women go for Friday prayers in Singapore due to space constraint)
That’s one down side in the Singaporean society if u look at religious point of view for non Malay speaking Muslims like me. Gd thing though that Urdu is offered at O and A levels.
yes halal meat is available in Singapore all over but even in the western countries it is available.
I have to admit that I do miss halal fast food that is offered in Singapore
snickers
now see the thread has gone into which country is better
IMO any country that you can get awesome food and doesn’t make me sick is good.
Language barrier PFT learn the language or get over it.
If you’re the minority and the majority of the people want to speak their language then you should learn and not be ignorant simple as that.
Indonesia is also same same hot like Bangkok. Off course you walked around Sukhumvit which is too crowded commercial area. Why not take Sky train from Emporium walkway…
I’ve been to Jalan Sudirman, Jalan Gaja Mada, Mall Indonesia, Saniyan, Taman Angrrek, Taman Ciputra, Pluit, Kelapa Gading, Harco Manga Dua…I love Indonesia…it has many contrasts
Seoul is nice too…Kangnam-Gu area and eating halal food at Usmania restaurant in Itaewon… The air is so fresh in Seoul. You feel it. Incheon airport is amazing…
Kakee, is your hubby posted abroad or are you doing job there ? profession if I may ask?
London is nice but only in summer, Melbourne was probably the best but I hate spiders and it is very expensive! Dubai and Jeddah were the worst, arabs seem to be the rudest people in the world.
Would like to try Canada, but I have to stay in the UK now as my parents are getting old so have moved back in with them.
Edinburgh wouldn’t get boring, Glasgow is a dump. I live in Cheshire, so nice scenery and close to Manchester which has plenty of things to do. I don’t think I could live right in the middle of London as I like the fresh air.
