Finally got some sleep over the weekend in Singapore, after six countries in six days. Interesting place Singapore - its got the best air conditioning in Asia so it got my business. Barely ventured out for two days - no need to - dining, movies, bars, hotels, shopping and mass transit all accessible without venturing outside.
Hotel was "trackside" by the F1 circuit so I spent sometime imagining Lewis, Jensen and the boys screaming down Raffles Boulevard come September. Politically Singapore is not really a democracy but it works very well. They take great pride in their city, sometimes excessively so - I think littering is capital offense. On this trip the guidance of the masses to be sensitive to their fellow citizens manifested itself for me with the sign below found in a restroom at the Marina Mall:
I was quite surprised there wasn't an offer of free lessons and unlimited "target practice" to improve your aim although I suspect that oversight will have been corrected on my next visit.
