Reflections of Singapore

Apart from enjoying the spotless city itself, there is so much to explore in Singapore. While we are leaving with the feeling that we only have scratched the surface here, it has been so interesting spending a week here! Even after learning of all the various government regulations we only realized the extent of the government-induced OCD behavior while watching videos of small children freaking out in a panic over some spilled milk!
Similar to our Bali experience toilet tissue is not provided in most public restrooms, costs $.10 from the attendant or tissue dispenser- so you’d better remember before walking into the stall!

And after the cigarettes are taxed 100% (along with alcohol and cars), they must put in a photo of someone affected by a cigarette-induced disease:

Shoppaholics- have never seen such a frenzy of shopping, endless malls connected to more malls by mile long corridors of more underground malls! We found ourselves lost on more than one occasion!
And to sum it all up, Singapore is one HUGE, tasty, well-groomed treat! Just do as you’re told!!

  1. Hey those pictures have to work better than the Attorney General's warning.
    Bet our national debt could be eliminated in a few short years if we taxed 100% on alcohol & cigarettes and cars! Listen up, Senators...
