The Noose and the Cane
The Noose and the Cane
Yeah,
I’ve finally arrived in Singapore, the land of the noose and the
cane. Don’t believe me that they like their capital and corporal
punishment? The warning above in red comes from the customs
declaration that every visitor has to make. I’m used to “have you
visited a farm in past two weeks?”, not a threat of death.
Apparently it’s due to the number of Aussie mules who feign ignorance
after ingesting 3 or 4 cocaine filled condoms and getting caught.
The second comes from the form I had to sign for my visa. I don’t think I’ll be overstaying my welcome (although this is an incredibly fun place). Also, “penalities” is their term, not mine.
