Transport in Singapore

Singapore is a cosmopolitan city and like many of them. We are not spared from the traffic congestions in the rush hours. As a city state with only 710m2 of land. Proper control and planning of land use becomes crucial. In an effort to improve traffic conditions. The country has developed over the years a comprehensive and efficient transport sytem that comprices of the Mrt ( subway  or metro )and buses that is linked  seemlessly via the stations using a common ticket. To encourage use of public transport instead of vehical ownership a quota system was introduced in 1990. Prior to purchasing your vehical ( cars and motorcycles ). A certificate of entittlement ( COE ) is required and this is acquired via a bidding process every month according to the categories stated ( according to engine capacity ) A COE for an average 1600cc car can cost anything around S$80,000. ( without the car ) Once the COE is secured, you can then proceed to purchase the car of your choice.

Singapore Food Culture

Food is an integral part of the singapore's culture. Given the many races living in singapore and the multitudes of cuisines, no wonder food is a national pasttime of many locals. One could find food available at any hawker centres and Coffeeshops within walking distance in the heartlands. You can also find many 24hours food places which caters to the " graveyard shift workers " or anyone who is sleepless and craving for food. Food is so closely associate with our livestyle that people actually greet each other with food. The chinese would say " chiak pa buay?" ( have you eaten? ) when they meet a friend. While the malays would say "suda makan?" which means the same thing. At the local hawker centres which is a collection of street food stalls under one roof run by the government. You will find people making a beelined for their favourite food. While queing they simply leave a packet of tissue on the table as a sign of reservation and people here acknowledge that the seat has been taken.
