Five Little Things I Learned in Singapore



  1. Changi Airport is one lonely airport. Impressive, yes, but the absence of too much human traffic somehow takes the awe factor away.
  2. You have to remember to keep glued to your left all the time. I understand about right-hand drives alright but I didn't know it works for building entrances and exits also. And yeah, hallways and pathways included.
  3. Iced tea is well, just iced tea. As in tea with ice. Best not to forget to ask your server for sweetener always.
  4. Thank God for third world countries like here. My less than 300Php book costs less than 500 there converted. My 67Php Mcdo fries and iced tea are double the price plus more.
  5. And my most stupid act ever? I asked for gums at the airport before going home. I forgot about the ban, honest. I will never forget the incredulous look the girl at the store gave me. It was like if I dared ask why she said 'There's no gum in Singapore.' she's gonna call the police and have me arrested.
