Singapore is a dangerous place for me or I am too dangerous for Singapore. Although there are currently no reasons for Singapore to deny me entry for the next time due to no arrest. Luckily next time on the entry on the immigration card whether you have been denied entry to Singapore before, which I could tick “no” again. (The right answer) If only all questions are this simple. Singapore just had so many signs about what you cannot do, a massive culture shock from Italy. My favourite one is the “No Durian” sign at the Metro. Damn right, the penalty must be so severe, that no amount of fine could be imposed for the discomfort caused. Singapore still has capital punishment which could be a bit harsh on carrying a tropical fruit. It seemed to have done the trick as no durians were seen in the MRT.
I was stopped by Customs, bag searched by station security, climbed a fence, crossed the traffic ignoring the advise of road markings and traffic lights. (“If you can dodge traffic, you can dodge a ball.”) This could be a sign that I need to take a bit more time on my appearance. I am just too much of a rebel. Actually, a guide to staying in Singapore could be useful. Especially for those guys who rioted earlier in the month. I.e. don’t riot.
Nepal has the weirdest list of items, i.e. you need to see someone professional if you were carrying those items. Singapore has the most scientific list. Wine tax is a function of wine type x %Alc x Singapore constant. For me a place with expensive wine is not a happy place.
