Singapore's a "fine" city





Singapore's famous for its fines that it imposes to keep this city in sharp order. I'd heard rumors of $500 fines for spitting, littering, eating in public and having standing water in your home. It was one of the reasons I was most interested to come here. I haven't seen anyone receive a fine or break a law and have had to monitor all my actions to make sure I'm not guilty of a crime but the signs are everywhere. I guess it's the price the residents have to pay to live in such an ordered, structured nation. Photos to come.
