Get to the Airport Early

by fishandchips

Depending on your travel time it is advisable to get out to Changi with plenty of time to spare. The airport is very busy with queues often rather lengthy. I normally aim for 2 hours before my flight - last time we flew at 9pm and the traffic around 7pm to get to the airport was very heavy and very slow. Imstress advises that it is now 3 hours for Changi so make sure you factor this into your plans.If travelling Singapore Airlines I always jump into an Internet cafe in town and do an online confirmation for my flight. This saves time at the airport as you can go to the small and fast moving queue for those who have done online confirmations. You need to have Singapore Airpoints to do this (I think) and as this is free there is nothing to stop you.Once through customs etc you will find heaps of shops so a good opportunity to do a bit of shopping while you wait for your flight.

Crowded Little India

by reshmi

On Sunday afternoons Little India is crowded with middle aged Indian men. They just stand around and stare, so if you're a female travelling alone you should cover up and don't be intimidated by them.The reason it is busy on Sundays is because it is temple day for the Hindu people.

The 'Fine' City

by reshmi

Singapore is known as a 'Fine' city/country because it has many strict laws and rules. Some of them are listed below.....1. Do not j-walk. I was caught doing this without realising it's illegal and got told off by an officer.2. Don't have anything to do with drugs. It's entirely illegal and you will get the death penalty if caught.3. Chewing gum is illegal to buy or sell in Singapore.4. Don't litter.5. If you are leaving Singapore by car, your gas tank must be at least ¾ full. They will check this at the border crossing into Malaysia. 6. Smoking is not allowed in buses, trains, taxis, air-conditioned restaurants and shopping centers. 7. Eating and drinking is not allowed on trains and buses.

Indoor outdoor

by Flipboy

Unlike some countries which are situated away from the equator Singapore is one of those places that you may need to wear a jacket indoors and take it off outside. Especially when going to the cinema or on buses. On the rainy days take special note of this cause the air-con tends to stay the same intensity even when the temp drops due to crying clouds.

Long queue during public holiday @ Tuas checkpoint

by kelnsha

If you are travelling to Malaysia via the Tuas checkpoint during the public holiday weekend, be sure that you leave early to avoid the massive jam.You can also check the traffic situation at Tuas and Woodlands checkpoint before leaving your house by calling the hotline or visit One Motoring website.

Singing in a karaoke lounge

by DeRay

I have to mentioned this as many of my friends abroad found it annoying but amusing while visiting Singapore. There's alot of those karaoke lounges here or widely heard as kalaoke lons as some 'apek' will call it. Btw, 'apek' is a chinese old man and many of these old man frequent to this kind of entertainment. Partly, the agenda is girls from china. Most of these guys just can't sing. But sang horribly and kept on singing as if they're the 'Singapore Idol'. If you're just really looking for a place to sing, go to a proper place where only singers dare to sing in the open space of the lounge. So, at least while waiting for your turn to come you would probably enjoy some of those singing.

Smoking Rules & Laws in Singapore

by xuessium

From 1 Jul 2006, smokers will have less space to take a puff. The ban on smoking will be extended to coffeeshops and hawker centres. While smoking won't be allowed indoors at coffeeshops, those establishments with outdoor seating can designate a smoking corner. These will take up to 20 percent for coffeeshops, likewise for hawker centres with outdoor seating. This space will be demarcated within a yellow box. The ban will be extended to entertainment outlets on 1 July 2007. Call it discrimination. I don't care. You have your right to smoke; I have my right to smoke-free air.The current laws state:Smoking is not allowed in public buses, taxis, lifts, theatres, cinemas, government offices, bus interchanges/stops, public toilets, public swimming complexes, open air stadia, community centre/clubs and in air-conditioned restaurants and shopping centres (including the toilets). First-time...

Beware of the peanut scam

by maria_hz

While in Singapore, restaurants tried the peanut scam on us twice. We would go to a restaurant (one was on Boat Quay, the other in Chinatown), order drinks and some food. While we were waiting for the food, we were served the drinks and a plate of peanuts. Then come payment time, and the plate of peanuts appeared on the bill! We pointed out that since we did not order the peanuts, we refused to pay. The restaurants corrected the bills and we paid, but with a definite bad aftertaste... I don't know if we would not have been charged had we not touched the peanuts, but if so, it should have been pointed out to us.We were charged in the order of 1-2 dollars for the peanuts, but it's the principle we are against. After all, peanuts cost just that... peanuts.Just a few restaurants do this, so we concluded it was the "stupid tourist" temptation that the restaurateurs were overcome with. Tipping...

NOTE: Food Items & Medicine into Singapore

by xuessium

Many folks do not realise this. But due to recent spates of "Mad Cow" disease, Nipah virus and Avian Flu outbreaks, some items (usually covering poultry, meat and eggs) are not allowed entry into Singapore. You are running foul of Singapore's laws if you bring these items in and risk fines and jail terms.Eg: Poultry and eggs from Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, and pork, chicken and beef in all forms (including "bak kwa") from Malaysia and Thailand.Guidelines can be obtained via this link:AGRI-FOOD & VETERINARY AUTHORITY OF SINGAPOREAs for personal medicine, the guidelines can be obtained via this link:HEALTH SCIENCE AUTHORITY
