Singapore impression

Singapore is called a garden city flotilla, roadsides are lined with Palm trees and tropical plants, even the bustling business district and surrounded by the green of the Woods, across the street pedestrian bridge and Metro stations are splendid. Singapore is an ethnic melting pot, Chinese, Malays, India, exotic white people assembled in such a country at peace theinch mini, each hold their national habits and culture. Walking on the street or on the subway, bus, English, Malay, India, Mandarin, Hakka, Chaozhou, Cantonese, Taiwanese dialect ... Mixed together, playing a national symphonic songs. Metro station, bus stop and broadcasting are usually consists of English, Mandarin, Malay, India in the four languages, is also not offended. Singapore's transport system is also more developed, 3 subway and bus, subway and bus transfer stations close, a few yards away, more convenient. Singapore Metro, automobiles including sidewalks are left row, just when there are not accustomed, probably because of Malaysia was the colonial United Kingdom, Singapore is independent from Malaysia, so it continues the United Kingdom. In Singapore by subway and bus is a good idea to buy a ez-link card, like the Shanghai public transportation card, otherwise cumbersome, ez-link card by bus but also on sale, but there are S $ 5 is unrefundable. The bus stop and the distance between stations very close, but the bus is not a station stop, only when someone up and down when he stops, so for newcomers to the person sitting on the bus must have a high concentration of attention, the next station is going to be down by the stop button next to the seat for the driver to stop at the station waiting for a bus to see the car came to a halt waved drivers, but also because of this, night bus quickly, because many stations are kept. Bad point is the bus station, bus stop only simple listed vehicle, each vehicle will really depend on what stations not know, only after boarding the next piece door information sheet to know that this is unfamiliar people very inconvenient. Singapore subway is also a lot of people, the peak in Shanghai. Taxi everywhere, Toyota and Big Ben, just not as good as domestic recognition is empty, some car if the car roof lamp display manned HIRED. Singapore city is very clean, the traffic rules also comply with more stringent, of course also saw several people jaywalk, Zebra vehicles will stop to allow pedestrians to pass, it feels very good, although not Singapore Street, but the Basic does the traffic jam, and we all obey the traffic rules are inseparable. Very agree with civilized society is built on a rigorous legal basis, Singapore is a typical example of Singapore's sentence is heavy, the Metro and bus to drink water will be fined $ 500, raise their hands and everything had to be cautious. Tap water is drinkable, so basically do not see the road holding bottles. Go to Singapore before you do not have to worry about changing currency issues, with aircraft RMB on foot, down the airplane airport there is a place to Exchange foreign currency and exchange rate nor the legendary so far. At first I was afraid of the airport for coins not cost-effective in American Express ' Exchange Office only for a little, later discovered that urban areas many Exchange point than the airport also black. Currency of the store in Singapore can be seen everywhere, mostly private, profit on the difference; every Exchange nor too, you can bargain, if not more, not a special trip to the legendary Chinatown Pearl Square, just find a pleasing bargaining nor too.
