I'm looking at my Social Visit pass - you nailed it, it says in bright red:

WARNING DEATH FOR DRUG TRAFFICKERS UNDER SINGAPORE LAW

But - you get that message while you are still on the plane (and presumably have a chance to turn back?)

Yes - GardenByTheBay is beautiful - as are the two conservatoriums (one of which they replicate Dry, Cool Mountain Highland Environment - which, is quite an accomplishment in Hot, Humid Singapore.) Indeed - so much of Singapore is actually Green/Catchment basin - it's a priority for them, as they rely on the catchment basins quite a bit for their fresh water (in addition to NEWater and their world class desalination plants.



Makes much more sense that what you have to declare in the US landing card:

I mean, seriously.


In Spring, 2001 I was in the midst of filling out my H1-B forms to become a permanent resident of the US when I came across that form (that I had to fill out to keep the process moving forward) - I just looked at it, and said to myself, "Really, I have to answer whether I have ever been involved in 'Genocide'?"

I felt insulted enough that I just dropped the process and I've been on a TN visa ever since.

Seriously - If I had been involved in Genocide, do they expect me to answer "Yes?"
