Before you
visit Singapore, there are a couple things you should know:
Taxis consider being flagged down like an invitation to dinner.
“No thank
you!”
“Busy!”
“I am
washing my hair!”
Don’t take
it personally.
Everyone’s speaking English, but everyone’s speaking a different language.
“I need this
signed immediately.”
“Can.”
“Thank you.
Please sign here.”
“No-lah! I
cannot sign! 3 days for processing.”
“But you
said you can sign.”
“Can.”
It's home to the world’s worst website.
Have you
ever heard of a website that is only open from 8 am to 8 pm, has a 10 page
application yet does not let you navigate to a specific page, does not generate
automatic error messages, does not process applications in the order they are
received, and does not validate credit card information to process payment? I know.
I am also impressed.
Singapore
hates you.
If you want
it, they don’t have it. If you need it,
it doesn’t exist. And then it will rain.
It’s OK to feel like a Loopy Nut in Singapore.
