Seat Taken. Bless you!
The most difficult thing in life is deciding where to sit after waiting in a long lunch queue and eventually getting your food. If this happens to you while in Singapore, bring some form of tissue with you as a seat saver when you go to get your lunch. In Singapore, taking ownership of a vacant seat by placing tissues on the table is typical (it even has a name, Chop-ing). Some think it’s impolite, but others think it’s appropriate given the limited time you have for lunch.
Seat Taken. Bless You!
Bring On The Uncle
All adults (or anyone considered as an adult by a child) in Singapore are referred to as aunts or uncles. You are not need to be linked to someone or to have siblings. If you exist, you are automatically referred to as a relative. It may be losing touch with today’s age, but in most towns across the country, dump the Mr. and Mrs. and grasp on to aunt and uncle.
