Heartlanders are really awesome!

I had to interview them for my news report assignment, and most of them (especially the youngsters) are really nice and friendly and helpful. At least, at the area I was exploring - the HDB blocks at Pioneer MRT and Boon Lay MRT. For one, there was the guy who walked me to Pioneer Mall instead of just givin me directions, and there was the group of people who gave me a lot of interview material and wished me luck for the assignment =]

A lot of them donated $10 bills to a street performer at JP - I don't recall seeing such generosity at Parkway Parade. I hardly recall seeing many street performers at all.

You get your fair share of rude people as well though, not to mention how my article was about groups of teenagers creating a ruckus at void decks at night. But the overall attitude of the people is different from the attitude of the people where I live.

As Dean Moriarty would say, they've got "IT".
