As the plane eased down on the tarmac, I was looking forward to breathing the Singapore “air”. Going down the plane stairs, I took a look around and thought, still looks the same with Davao’s airport. I guess I expected more.

As I followed the other passengers who entered the airport building, I decided to take a picture under the “Arrival” area. I took out my camera, and as I was about to take a picture, a lady Singaporean (an employee of the airport)told me, “Excuse me, excuse me. No camera, no camera!” I replied, “Sorry” then kept my camera. So much for taking outdoor airport pics. I asked myself, do Singaporeans always repeat what they say? Maybe for foreigners like me? hmmm

Well, being reprimanded still counted as my first conversation with a Singaporean. 
