yesterday i was in a strange situation. i forget to talk about it yesterday because i was so flashed about vivo city and the concert ticket.
but okay, here is the story.
yesterday morning, when i waited for alecs, i sat on the singapore river, ne? so, i was totally in peace and relaxed and so on ... as suddenly a monk stood next to me. he talked about inner peace and gave me a piece of paper, where i've read several names, the countries and a number.
he talked the whole time about being peaceful and gave me a sticket. than he said ... donation -_-
I really didn't want to give him money because i don't like it to get forced. but damn, he was a monk. and i am pretty sure they KNOW why they are wearing monks clothes :|
So I gave him 10 dollars *sigh*
he actually wanted 20 (!), but i said to him i don't have more money. he wanted to give me a bracelet and 200 dollars for it o___O
so, wtf. i told him the whole time i don't have more money and finally he left. i wasn't really angry about myself. more like, oh god anke, why can't u say *no* when u are really feeling like that?

so, when alecs and we walked through the vivo city mall, we saw a monk again. and we had this conversation.

alecs; do u see him? those guys are really bad people.
me; why?
alecs; because they are giving u things, talking about donation but they are forcing u (and your bad conscience) to pay for it actually. and then they taking this money to get drunk and fucking around with prostitues
me; *sigh*
alecs; what's wrong?
me; i guess i made a monk a little bit happier today -__-
alecs; hach ankiiiiiii
XDDDD

so, for the next time i will say i don't have the money for it!
actually a young guy came at vivo city to me and asked me for donation and this time i sat *NO*! U see, I've learned pretty fast, ne? XDDD

Prickelnd. Manche Menschen schrecken wirklich vor nichts zurück. Verkleidet als Mönch? Also ehrlich. Aber das erinnert mich an Paris. Da sind Farbige herum gelaufen und haben dir ein Armband ans Handgelenk gebunden und wollten dann Geld dafür. Bei mir wollte er 5 €, gegeben hab ich ihm 2 €. ^^ Ganz schön dreist und aufdringlich.

Ne ne, nicht als moench verkleidet. Der typ war ein Monch. das ist ja das schlimme dabei ^^
die wissen halt genau wie es geht. ich weiss jetzt nur fuer mich, dass ich mir nix mehr in die hand druecken lassen.
und so tpen findest du ueberall. wo touristen sind, sind auch so leute, die geld machen wollen ^^
das heftige war ja noch, dass er fuer das armband 200 dollar wollte. wtf, das sind 100 euro O.O
