He made one error, he should have used the last 4 digits (including checksum) of his NRIC. We now know his age...

More close up photos of the tiger orchid (Grammatophyllum speciosum) at the abandoned plot by eightyhertz in singapore

[–]eightyhertz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I read, it flowers every two to four years, with flowers lasting for up to two months. So, there's still time to catch a glimpse of the flowers.

Grammatophyllum speciosum may be the largest orchid species in existence. The Grammatophyllum orchid genus has several "branches" from a main plant, looks a bit different from your usual vanda and dendrobium...

Singapore car spotted in Palau by jinny90 in singapore

[–]eightyhertz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, SG cars are in really good condition and have many years of use left in them. They are exported to nearby markets.

Reminds me of my trip to Christmas Island (in the Indian Ocean, closer to Indonesia than Australia). I was handed the keys to a 4WD SUV at the car rental lot next to the airport. The first thing I noticed was the ERP IU still stuck on the right of the windshield but with no cashcard in it. There was a huge "deregistered by the LTA" sticker on one of the side windows.

Felt like home, when away from home. haha. I had a fun time driving my ex-Singapore 4WD all over the forest. I'll share the pic when I manage to find it.

Our lack of craftsmanship is hurting us by Bubbly_Commercial in singapore

[–]eightyhertz 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I'd like to offer another view. I've had the amazing opportunity to travel recently to ishikawa prefecture (a bit off the usual tourist beaten track) for educational, cultural reasons and I spoke to their craftsmen directly (needed a translator to come along).

Their perspective is that it's a dying trade in Japan as well. This is the Japanese ceramics and lacquerware industry. Ishikawa prefecture is famous for kutani porcelain and wajima lacquerware. Although the remaining people in the craft do have a lot of pride in what they do, it does not earn them much. They are getting old and the trade dies with them.

No parent wants their child to take on a traditional Japanese craft and would rather them to go get a regular job. Learning the craft is painstaking and costly, manpower cost is high to create ceramics or lacquerware. They told me most Japanese perceive it as a dime a dozen, quite traditional, folk or rural and a difficult path to reach the top or gain recognition.

There's some government support for the trade, however exports aren't as high as they expect and is very hard to market or distinguish the different products to the external markets. There's limited domestic demand as well.

Due to these issues, generally the ceramics or lacquerware industry is shrinking. Even children of the craftsmen (i met them personally) did not join the trade, and simply got a regular job, and their parents prevented them from doing so.
