Here are some of the sights, sounds, and smells that will always remind me of Singapore long after I leave one day.
-7-11 convenience stores....weird but true. There is a 7-11 about every 500 metres. Every MRT station is also equipped with a 7-11. Some of my fave items I pick up from 7-11: a bottle of water, kinder bueno chocolate, a tall can of tiger, and an ice cream cone. :)
-The Singpore National Day Song of 2011: This song played all day, everyday in the MRT stations up until National Day 2011 which was August 9th...and is still playing in the morning when I get on the train. This song will live in my heart forever. :)
-The smell of incense burning: Whenever I go for a run on the sidewalk surrounding these condo buildings, there are always incense sticks burning on the sides of the sidewalk in the grass. Or when I walk along the streets even where there is no grass, there are incense sticks sticking out of the side of sidewalk cracks and bricks. I'm assuming this is for people who pray to Buddha. I forgot to mention, there's usually a plate of food for Buddha offerings along with the incense sticks.
-The singing coming from the Ktv (karaoke) club at night across the main street from my condo.
-Curry-There's an Indian food stall on the corner of my side street that I pass everyday on my way home from work.
That's a few that I thought of but I'm sure there will be more :)
