Here I am ensconced in my Business Class seat, listening to delightfully soothing music, on the way to SIN city, but actually though the airport call letters are SIN, the city and government are quite conservative about the deportment of its citizens and tourists.
Public displays of affection are not permitted and neither is gum-chewing. Even jay-walking is punishable by fine.
Though I have never been to Singapore before, everyone says I will love it. I’m looking forward to experiencing this new culture. Actually Singapore is an amalgam of cultures, languages, and religions. The residents are Malay, Chinese, or Tamil.
It also has four official languages---Malay, Chinese, Tamil, and English.
When I read about it, it reminded me of Mauritius, a fabulous island I visited with my partner and husband some years ago.
The difference is that the major European language of Mauritius is French.
Looking Forward. . .
