A Couple Notes

Here are somethings that I have noticed about Singapore that I wanted to write down before I forget that they are different. (Does that make sense?)

• You get Chili Sauce with your fries at McDonald's
• You can get McDonald's delivered
• Instead of getting things "to go" you "take away"
• trolley=shopping cart
• lift=elevator
• pram=stroller
• When you get off the MRT, etc. you "alight"
• Free Flow=free refills (i think)
• Iced Lemon Tea reminds me of Sweet Tea
• a high chair can either be a what we call a high chair or it could be a small seat on stilts for a toddler to sit in
• grocery stores are in the basement of shopping malls
• Ovens are not standard in an Singapore kitchen (unless they are catering to expats) As one woman put it- "We don't bake cheese."
• You have to make sure you have a water heater in your apt (not a given)
• A bomb shelter/storage closet can be used as a maid's room and most often is

These are some of the things I have noticed so far.
