What are the precautions for traveling to Singapore?

Travel notes 1. Catering and shopping: 1) Tipping is not encouraged in Singapore, and 10% service charge is listed on the bills of hotels and restaurants. Tipping is forbidden at the airport. 2) Except for the food court and hawker center, most other restaurants in Singapore will charge 10% service fee and 7% consumption tax. 3) Pay attention to some inexplicable surcharges when eating in restaurants in Singapore. For example, some restaurants will give customers a side dish or tea when they sit down, but they will not tell them that they are charged. In high-end restaurants (especially those with bars), if you need free water, please tell the waiter to ask for tap water (tap water; Tap water in Singapore can be drunk directly). 4) Small shops in Singapore can generally try to bargain, but it is almost impossible.

Most tourist attractions and shopping malls have their own taxi stands. In Singapore, if there are taxi stops around, especially in the city center, taxi drivers will not stop along the road. 3) In Singapore, you need to wave at the bus stop. Even if there is only one bus at this station, the bus will go straight. There is no stop announcement system on the bus. If you are not sure at which station to get off, you can find a seat closer to the driver and ask him to tell you when to get to the station. Generally speaking, they will help you enthusiastically. Remember to ring the bell and swipe your card before you get off. 4) The driving direction and driver's seat position of vehicles in Singapore are opposite to those in China, on the left. When crossing the road, if you see a zebra crossing, pedestrians can pass at any time, and vehicles will stop to let pedestrians go first. But in the absence of zebra crossing, pedestrians need to cross the road according to the instructions of traffic lights. 5) Singapore has the lowest crime rate in the world. There are generally no thieves and liars. 3.

There is a fine of S $50 for climbing over the railing. If there is no crosswalk within 50 meters, you should cross the road at the traffic lights. 4) Chewing gum is not allowed to be imported, carried or eaten, and offenders will be fined. 5) All buses and subways in Singapore (including platforms) are prohibited from carrying durian, and eating and drinking are prohibited. 6) Please stand on the left when going up and down the escalator; On the right is the overtaking lane. 7) Singaporeans are all against orders, which really shows that there is no team in the world, but if there are more people in line, it will become a team.
