Where I grew up in the bustling skyscraper city of Singapore, only homeless people went camping. Even then, they were a rare find because the infamous social engineers of Singapore were quick to spot them and usher (read shove) them back to civilization. Think about it, if it's illegal to chew gum in that country, you think they'll let you lie on a grass patch in the middle of tourist-ridden Orchard Road to gaze at the Big Dipper? Then I came to the United States for college. When my plane landed, I was expecting glorious scenes from " Dallas" and "Wonder Woman" - the TV series that symbolized Beautiful America to all Singaporean teenagers. Instead, the plane door opened to the vast corn fields of Wyoming. My first stop in the U.S. clued me in that Wonder Woman country might not be what I envisioned all along.
