"Better" perhaps, but also different. I think Derek's post was more about culture and less about daily life and modes of thought. I enjoyed both.

Personally, I didn't find Derek's post to be anything new. It was basically just an eloquent rephrasing of "some things we think are fundamental values are just cultural". I knew that already.

Agreed, but there were still some interesting anecdotes and perspectives from his POV in Singapore.
