Rules and Tools of Life in Singapore

1)  First and foremost, respect the locals.  You are in their country after all.  If they are rude or get frustrated because they don't understand you, either politely defend yourself (depending on the situation) or walk away and brush it off.  Remember they were forced to become an English speaking country only 46 years ago.  That's younger than most of you, or most of your parents. :)

2)  It really is safe to walk in the dark at 2am by yourself, even if you are female.

3)  The bus driver will NOT stop at the bus station unless you press the button.

4)  If you are not familiar with a bus route, check gothere.sg to make sure you get on the right bus stop or else you could be traveling over an hour on the outskirts of Singapore.

5)  No, your bag does not get its own seat on the bus.

6)  Watch out for cockroaches...ick!

7)  Yes, those asian girls in tight dresses and lots of make up outside the bars on circular quay are prostitutes.

8)  Always carry an umbrella on you, it can rain at any given moment!
