The Merlion and the Lone Moon
The Merlion and the Lone Moon
Everything I know about Singapore, I learned from a taxi driver.
Okay, maybe not everything.
But for sure, you can get a taste of the history and the local flavor and the vibe of this fine city’s life through the eyes of he who plies the road at about S$20 per pop (that’s about USD$12).
We had the pleasure of the company of three very talkative ones. On the way from the Night Safari back to our hotel, at 12:30 in the morning, the taxi driver told us tales. Real tales.
And what he has told us has earned my respect for this beautifully manicured City. There are a lot of lessons to be learned here – some on money, some on good governance, others still on not taking anything for granted.
