Since I've already mentioned the MRT I'd like to talk about the taxi service here. Taxis are a fairly cheap way of getting around Singapore. However, when you get into a cab you're getting more than just a ride to your next destination. Depending on the driver you'll also get a history lesson on Singapore, a feel for the current political climate or a snap shot glimpse into the lives of the local working class. Taking a cab has been a valuable lesson in many ways. Not only are we getting around the city we are learning about the real Singapore. Life in Singapore is more than shopping and good food (for Irt) There are Singaporean citizens who have a rich history that they would love to share if people just took the time to listen.
Taxi please!
