Singapore impression (1): early to your landscape

I heard that we are going to Singapore, my friend had some seriousness that legendary stories to frighten us, warned the road don't bring chewing sweets, and not smoking in public places, be careful to the people make pp la (Singapore-specific penalties, remember two United States Junior unwittingly fun scratch others vehicles to malicious damage to property crimes were helping spanking, even the United States President to intercede in useless). We jokingly, yeah, don't accidentally dropped in the street a confetti, a fine of two thousand and sweep the streets really are ashamed nor money back.

Although early on Singapore's legal regulations are strictly slightly heard, but did not expect that, when the aircraft arrived in Singapore, with broadcasting as usual, describes some of the profiles, also said: "Please note that passengers carrying illegal drugs in Singapore (meaning the drug) possible entry, at the death penalty.

"Let people down there idle hearts reverence. In the subsequent trip to discover, in fact, as long as you comply with the general public morality, or you can play it live.

First arrived in Singapore, two things are not used.

The first thing is the road directions of Singapore and China, on the contrary, the vehicle is keep to the left, driving on the right.

We are waiting for a bus crossing total habitual left, eh? how the whole road is empty?, however, is very good for pedestrians who are the vehicles to pedestrians. In the streets of Shenzhen, we always have a zebra crossing is cautious, aiming at a good location in flying vehicles of relaxation and between the thief like run ever through the opposite. So to Singapore's a bit flattered, often we stopped on the roadside to vehicle, the driver will slow from a distance, the lower speed, we have first hand gestures.

Another thing is the language used to Singapore.

Singapore's ethnic Chinese, Malays, and India, which accounted for 80% the proportion of ethnic Chinese, there are four official languages: English, Malay, Mandarin and Tamil (India a phrase). Real life people will also be used in some other language, we often hear around the Chinese say vernacular and Hakka. But no matter what people say Singapore, always with a very strong Malay tones, tone full is flat and without accents, T sounds into D tone, often a Word with the use of several languages. Have a seat next to the subway, I'm a lady on the phone said: "Oh, that's why do not I meet you in Bugis (street names, there are many snack night market) eat nonya spicy noodles? (Malay, Chinese cuisine for Niang, provoked to the previous marriage to Malays, Chinese spouses do a mixture of two ethnic restaurants featured dishes)" hard to understand this sentence, I can only sigh: I served the u!

In Singapore can eat a variety of ethnic dishes, we ate India cuisine and Malay cuisine.

As a result of modern city life tempo, people are used to dining out, therefore catering is developed. Almost every super mall has a food centre in Bugis and Newton Circle a great snack night market, along the Singapore River arranged numerous restaurants and bars. One evening, downtown street is filled with outdoor cafes, where visitors enjoy a cup of coffee at the newspaper, watch the streetscape at whistle of beauty.

For tourists, Singapore tourist information done very well, in the airport, Metro, tourist attractions and shopping center of the hotel are placed many related brochures free pick up.

Traffic is also very convenient, the price should be considered in the big city is relatively low. We use the most is the subway and from the airport to the city as long as 20 minutes. And most dining places are near Metro lines, convenient and quick. In fact, buses and taxis are cheap, but for visitors have their inconvenience. Singapore bus stop no specific route, the car will not stop, wanted to buy a bus route map, a look at a book so thick and immediately dismissed the idea. Taxi General cannot stop waving that, at the station you always have ten thousand people wait in line for the bus, so it is usually not taken into account.

The entire city of feeling is very fresh, trees, housing, urban planning, or people.

Here the air good sunny, roadsides trees high dense, uncluttered urban planning, you can see a lot of open-top sports car on the road. All the houses are heard by Government funded across the five-year paint the exterior renovation. And we met a young mentality are special, 50-year-old retired people will take part in many social activities, fresh, very few will see trappings look ahead to the old.
