Singapore Good to know

In order to ensure a good trip around the busy country of Singapore, information on certain things should be noted by tourists. First, upon entering the island, tourists should be wary of the strict implementation of laws. Any kind of violation even of the simplest one, like jaywalking, spitting, or littering is equivalent to a fine of S$1,000. Chewing gum and even carrying one may cost more S$ 2,000. Try feeding a monkey and a whopping S$ 10,000 is slashed from one's tour money. Thus, to go about the trip with ease, it is good to know some of the basic laws and prohibitions of the island.

While these fines may already become a nuisance to unacquainted travelers, another probable concern should be noted especially by male visitors. Down the popular Changi Village, many women come up to men offering a "date." This may seem enticing besides the fact that majority of them are lady boys or transvestites. The best way for travelers to go about this is to smile and politely turn them down. Then, continue hiking towards the laid out itinerary for a memorable Singapore experience.
