Avoid fancy restaurants and cafes. Visit the hawker centers instead. Also, this is where you will get the most authentic cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Dressing<\/strong> \u2013 The city has a tropical climate, so it is summer throughout the year. Humidity is high. Wear the right clothing to avoid sweating. Carry an umbrella because it is likely to rain almost every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Transport<\/strong> \u2013 Public transport is safe, convenient, and cheap. Both MRT and LRT are efficient. Use a card and you can save even more money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. <strong>Rules<\/strong> \u2013 Singapore is very strict about regulations. Chewing gum in public can attract a fine.
