Things to remember when traveling to Singapore

When traveling to Singapore, it is important to know the following things: Singaporeans are polite and efficient. It’s common for locals to greet tourists warmly as they walk by or stop in their tracks when you speak English. This politeness extends even beyond interactions with strangers; Singaporean bosses will often ask junior staffers how their families are doing, etc., rather than just issue orders. Furthermore, be aware that most transactions take place in Singlish – a mixture of Chinese and Malay dialects which sounds like gibberish at first but actually makes perfect sense once you learn some basics (ie “lah” means “yesterday” while “kampung” means village).

Survival in the Lion City
