Singapore is the world's fastest...

If you believe what Donald J. Trump always said in his The Apprentice, that New York is the fastest, most stressful city in the world, read this survey.

According to a British psychology professor, Singapore is the fastest city in the world... in walking. I am not joking, it's true.

He somehow managed to record the average walking speed of people in 34 major cities in the world, and make a list. The distance travelled is the same, 18m, and here is the time taken to travel that distance (Top 10)

1. Singapore 10.55s
2. Copenhagen (Denmark) 10.82s
3. Madrid (Spain) 10.89s
4. Guangzhou (China) 10.94s
5. Dublin (Ireland) 11.03s
6. Curitiba (Brazil) 11.13s
7. Berlin (Germany) 11.16s
8. New York (US) 12.00s
9. Utrecht (Netherlands) 12.04s
10.Vienna (Austria) 12.06s

Eighteen meters in 10.55s? Wow, that means much faster than three meters in every two seconds. Cool!!

No wonder people here are so slim although they often eat fast foods... :)
