Have you been working or studying in Singapore for a while, do you often feel out of place?
Caught in endless internal friction...
If so, I suggest you read this article carefully, because the answer is hidden in this article!
The location of the subway entrance
You can't sit casually, it's reserved for special people
In most provinces of China, after getting on the subway, everyone will find the nearest seat and sit down, because if you don't hurry, the place may be snatched by someone else!
But in Singapore, the first place to enter is a special seat reserved for pregnant women, the elderly and the disabled, and no one will sit in this seat because there is no way to tell if someone in need will get on the bus at the next stop.
Shopping malls in Singapore
Don't just accept the trial pack handed by the counter sister
Walking in the supermarket in Singapore, you can see a lot of free tastings, and you can also see a lot of customers holding free tastings in their hands.
But in the mall, it is almost impossible to see the free cosmetics samples distributed by the counter sisters. This is because the counter sister gives you a trial for a purpose, and they want you to spend at the counter!
So don't take it lightly.
After trying on clothes in Singapore
Be sure to ask the clerk to get a brand new one
In Singapore, when you go shopping in a mall, the most common phrase you hear is "new piece", and after trying on the clothes, ask the clerk to pick up a brand new one.
This is because most of the clothes on the outside have been tried on by many people, and I don't know if there is any skin disease in the last one I tried on, which is more or less mindful of everyone. So even if the clothes look brand new, the clerk will be asked to pick up a brand new one.
Don't take the paper towels on the table in the food court or coffee shop
That's used to "occupy a place", and you will be scolded if you take it
In China, most students go to school to occupy a place with their textbooks, or leave a person to occupy a place. But in Singapore, people must not take the paper towels that people put on the table because they use them to occupy the space.
If you take it casually, you will most likely be scolded!
And there is also a company in Singapore that has specially issued a tissue packaging for this purpose, which reads: "I'm sorry ah~ This seat has been occupied by me!PS: Don't be angry, we have been waiting for this position for a long time......" is sought after by the locals.
Halfway through the coffee drink, I want to go out halfway
Place the spoon flat on the cup so that it won't be taken away!
When drinking coffee in a coffee shop in China, the clerk will not take away the coffee when you see that the bag and other personal items on the seat have not been taken away.
However, in Singapore's coffee shops and food courts, the merchant will come with a spoon to stir the coffee, but this small spoon has another purpose to tell people that "the coffee is not finished yet, and I will come back later." "But for this to happen, you have to lay the coffee spoon flat on the cup!
Buy coffee in Singapore
You have to understand the slang
It's really hard to order a cup of coffee at a coffee shop in Singapore, because there are a lot of slang words!
Because of Kopi and Teh in Singapore, there are many types!
像Siew Dai是少糖；Peng是加冰块；Teh C：茶 + 淡奶 + 白糖；
Teh C Peng:Teh C + 冰块;Teh C Kosong :茶 + 淡奶,免白糖......
Finish eating at the food court and hawker centre
Plates should be recycled consciously!
In China, there are almost no restaurants or cafeterias where you need to return your plates to the cafeteria, except for university cafeterias.
But in Singapore, when you go to food courts and hawker centres, you must return your plates!
From June 1, 2021, everyone will have to put their trays and chopsticks back at the "Dishes Return Station" after eating. If you don't follow the rules, you will be subject to the following penalties:
a. First-time offenders will receive a written warning;
b. For recidivism, a fine of 300 new ones;
c. The third time you may be charged in court!
Note: Once charged, the penalty is the same as littering! According to the Environmental Health and Public Health Act, the maximum fine can be up to 2,000 New Zealand!
Twists and turns in the company
The leader asks you for coffee and lunch
In China, having dinner with colleagues and bosses is generally a matter of contact. But in Singapore, if a colleague or leader asks you to have lunch or coffee, you must mention the spirit of 12 points! Because he is likely to have something to tell you~
But whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, I don't know~
