Some guy moving to Singapore from California was asking what cultural things to be aware of. I said don’t smile too much and don’t talk to strangers. He doesn’t believe me. Well; Singapore will beat that out of his system.

@skinnylatte Australia benefits SO MUCH from the exodus of those Singaporeans who do smile a lot and talk easily with strangers.

@skinnylatte I am already game planning on how to manage on a trip to Singapore in 5 months with my mother who believes in talking to everyone everywhere all the time. People in elevators, the stranger in the bed next to mine when I was in hospital, everyone 😂

My wife and I like to play a game: random street scene in SF. ‘Will they be arrested in Singapore?!’ Probably. For lots of things.
