Singapore Weather Report

Today I saw something very funny during the Weather report.

During a weather report, you know how they usually show the whole country or a continent map and then put sunshine logos and rainy clouds and sometimes even snow flakes on different locations on that map depending on the conditions.

Singapore is an island no larger than New York City. Driving from one end to another in very heavy traffic maybe takes no longer than 30 minutes. (BTW: if the whole traffic is moving @ 30 mph, that is considered a BIG traffic JAM here.)

Today's weather report had a map of Singapore and had (I am not exaggerating) 5 sunshine images on it. One on each end and another in the middle! And they were all showing the same temparature (24 C). I thought it was hilarous and was about to fall off my chair!

I guess the government of Singapore is doing all they to make their tiny island look important and not different than any other country. Sometimes one has to envy the guts it takes to make such stupid decisions trying to deceive people.
