Legal Alien in Singapore - Day 2

Tuesday, 28th October 2008 After finishing some tasks, I was invited to have a Japanese lunch on one of the food courts in Liang Seah Street. The food tastes good. But I began to realize that everything seems to taste too sweet. Even the chili tastes sweet!. I had to buy a good old hot chili sauce with me. At night I have the time to visit the Fountain of Wealth in Suntec City. It has the setting for laser performances, as well as "live" song and laser message dedications between 8pm to 9pm. Visitors are invited to walk around a mini fountain at the center of the fountain's base for good luck. But it was bad luck for me because the show was temporarily closed for maintenance. Before leaving Suntec City I went to Carrefour to grab some snacks. And something catches my attention. As you can see from the image (it’s not my cart, it’s one of the customer carts), the shopping cart must be inserted with 1$ coin. It makes me curious. But later from one of the Singaporeans, I quite understand the fact that lots of shopping carts had been stolen and to make the customers more organized when returning the cart. Of course, you can get the 1$ back. It’s a bit odd because it’s free to use in Indonesia.
