Singapore, anyone been before?

[rdlangston13]

I am scheduled to head to Singapore on Thursday to board a drill ship and sail to South Africa. Anyone here ever been to Singapore or South Africa that can give me some advice on things not to do culturally wise. I would hate to get there and do something stupid and get in some kind of trouble.

had an aunt/uncle that lived there many years ago. he sold parts for offshore oil rigs. they loved it. amazed at how clean it is.

Singapore was my first international trip for work, back in 1990 I believe. I think in general if you act like a normal well mannered person you should be fine...it's not that restrictive. Don't litter, be courteous, ask if you have a concern about anything. I've never been to South Africa, been to Ghana which I loved.

Hmmmm . . .

Guess a lot of us around here better just stay home.

Bet that drill ship puts up a killer wake....

Alright so we have officially crossed the indian ocean and are now bopping off the coast of cape town, south africa. Tomorrow morning flights will begin and I will be getting off this thing. Hoping to find a new place to sit on the beach and have a beer tomorrow evening and watch the sun set.
