| 11th July 2009 Anonymous | Response: - From: It was still hot after the sun went down Beggars in Singapore not only consist of tissue sellers, cant label all of them as blind. Some handicapped, some play music in subways. Some sing at bus interchanges. But none plainly sits down and asks for money unlike other 3rd world countries. Taxis are not mostly blue hyundais, majority is the toyota crown, the oldie ones. English is one of the official national languages, whereas malay, tamil, mandarin chinese are the rest. chewing gum for nicotine patch is legal, other than that, if your caught bringing in chewing gum to singapore and get caught by the customs, then god knows what happens to you.. as they are using hightech xray and detecting equipments. enforcement officers wont be on a cop dress, they will be in civilian dress and once you litter, smoke and throw the bud anyhow or spot you chewing gum, thats it.. if you dont see doesnt mean singapore doesnt have enforcement officer, maybe your time was good i could say.. and dont recommend people coming here to bring in contraband items like chewing gum.. |

| 6th July 2009 psy | hello from singapore - From: I love my pants Hi Michael, looks like you've enjoyed your stayed in Singapore. By the way, the fruit you are holding can be found in many tropical fruit stalls here - It's a rambutan and I have a tree in my garden covered with it. And the seafood noodles is actually Hokkien Mee from the chinese zi char stall. (Mee Goreng is a spicy Malay noodle dish and some chinese stalls do offer it as well - it'll be just as spicy) The double yellow lines are not bike paths - it simply means that no vehicle is to park there. I hope you didn't spend your time trying to keep within the lines! Anyway $2 for limeade is way too expensive! |
| 3rd July 2009 Sam | - From: I love my pants the Bike Path you mentioned isnt for bikes. It is a road marking that indicates, " no parking ", local would often says "no parking at double yellow line" |
