Singapore travel notes. Dining and shopping: 1) Tipping is not encouraged in Singapore, and a 10% service charge will be listed on the hotel and restaurant bills. Tipping is prohibited at the airport. 2) Except for food courts and hawker centers, most other restaurants in Singapore charge a 10% service fee and a 7% consumption tax. 3) Be aware of some inexplicable surcharges when dining in restaurants in Singapore. For example, some restaurants will give customers a side dish or tea when they sit down, but will not tell them that it is charged. In a high-end restaurant (especially one with a bar), if you want free water, tell the waiter to ask for tap water (tap water; you can drink tap water in Singapore). 4) Small shops in Singapore can generally try to bargain, but almost all of them don’t accept returns. 5) During the Chinese New Year, almost all Chinese stalls in Singapore’s food streets and hawker centers will be closed. 6) Most stores in Singapore don’t sell it.

Most tourist attractions and shopping malls have their own taxi ranks. In Singapore, taxi drivers will not stop along the road if there are taxi ranks around, especially in the city centre. 3) In Singapore, you need to wave before a bus stops - even if there is only one bus at the stop, the bus will just drive away. There is no stop announcement system on the bus. If you are not sure which stop you want to get off at, you can find a seat closer to the driver and ask him to tell you when you will arrive. Generally, they will be eager to help you. Remember to ring the bell and swipe your card before getting off the bus. 4) Driving direction and driver’s seating position in Singaporean vehicles is opposite to that 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 crossings, pedestrians need to follow the traffic lights to cross the road. 5) Singapore has the lowest crime rate in the world. There are generally no thieves or liars. 3.

Travel Notes Basically, shaking hands is a ritual accepted by both men and women. But the initiative of shaking hands is decided by Malaysian women, because some Malaysian women are more accustomed to greeting each other with a nod or a smile. The right hand is usually used for eating, picking up and placing things, and shaking hands to show courtesy. Don't point your index finger at someone or anything because that will make you lose your mind. This is impolite. The correct fingering method should be to place the thumb and other four fingers of the right hand in the palm of the hand. Malays in Malaysia don't drink alcohol, so please don't toast in Malaysia.
