Singapore Scenes

It's a city unlike anything we see outside the States. Here are a few examples of its uniqueness.

On the arrival card it says, in big red print, "Death to Drug Dealers by Law."

In the areas where you wait for the subway, there is no trash on the floor, and no trash cans!

To use the subway, you go to a touch screen and touch the station you want. It tells you the fare. You insert it, get change and take ticket. To get through the turn stiles, you tap a screen with the ticket. Doors open. Something about a radio something, probably the world's first radio isotope inside a subway card. After the trip, return the ticket to the machine and get a dollar back.

Today, Sunday, they were out in scores. Hundreds. Doing the favorite sport of Singaporeans - shopping. Serious shopping. Shops, malls, arcades, you name it.

It's a city not for everybody. If you like to live the American independent spirit, push the envelope, step over the line, question authority, jay walk, spit, jump in line - you get the picture - you can slow down and take a look, but you won't want to stay.
