Returning to Singapore



I have been back in Singapore 2 days and already realize that I have forgotten many things about living in this county. This morning for example, I was paying for some groceries and I almost froze when I couldn't remember the pin for my debit card. What if I typed it wrong? That would be embarrassing! Thankfully, I did remember and got through the line without a problem, but it gave me quite the panic.
After being in a country where you never get the right of way as a pedestrian, even when your light is green, I had a little trouble tonight on my way home. As I walked home, I came up to a crosswalk where pedestrians are always given the right-of-way. I paused and waited for the car that was stopped right in front of the crosswalk, expecting him to go, until I finally realized that I wouldn't get run over if I walked in front of this car.
