Can a trip break the bank?
Absolutely, if you're going to Singapore.
This is the consensus of many Chinese who have recently gone to Singapore.
On February 9, China and Singapore were exempted from each other, and at the same time as the policy was released, countless Chinese entered Singapore silkily.
According to Ctrip, searches in Singapore have grown by 1,300%.
At Shanghai Pudong Airport alone, 10,000 people flew to Singapore in three days, 15 times more than last year.
A large number of middle-class people are heading to Singapore in anticipation of their long vacations.
As a result, after an annual leave, many people don't even have pants left.
I'm not exaggerating.
Related topics rushed to the first place in the hot search on Weibo, 3100 million readings and more than 90,000 interactions are all their bitter tears.
Why is Singapore so "expensive"? First of all, it is expensive. The exchange rate between Singapore and RMB is about 1:535。A bottle of the most ordinary convenience store mineral water, 97 RMB, fat house happy water up to 172 A bottle, it's hard to be happy anymore.
Then let's have some healthy and drink juice, worth nearly 43 yuan! Forget it, I'm not that thirsty all of a sudden.
Eat something to fill your stomach, casually enter a Western restaurant, order ordinary dishes, and the two of them spent more than 900 yuan.
Let's have something affordable for the public, after Yang Moufu spicy hot went abroad, his worth soared, and a bowl was more than 200 yuan.
Fu, you still look like I can't climb. I didn't eat anything, and I went back to the hotel hungry and couldn't just walk. Less than 2 km away, it took 728 oceans.
After a day of visiting Singapore, it seemed that a thief had entered his wallet, and he didn't do anything, and the money was swiped out. That's not to mention the four-figure hotels in the city center, which can easily be hundreds or thousands of dinners. Of course, before going to Singapore, most people are mentally prepared for the local prices. The province should be a province, and it should be a flower, so that it will not go home poor and empty. But what happened next was unexpected by many people. The most "expensive" thing in Singapore is not the price, but its "love-hate" fines. Like Tony Leung, you want to feed the pigeons in Paris. But sorry, feed the pigeons in Singapore once, you will pay a price of 2675 yuan!
You forgot to eat breakfast in a hurry and chose to eat on the subway. I'm sorry, it's S$500 again, more than 2,000 RMB! In fact, the ban on eating and drinking in the subway is also the same in China, but in China, it is nothing more than education to be caught, and in Singapore, you have to pay the fine honestly.
The grievances in your heart are nowhere to be said, so you pick up your mobile phone and want to complain to your relatives and friends in China. But you don't know whose Wi-Fi is connected to, you are lamenting that the Wi-Fi installed on your mobile phone is reliable, and you can connect to the Internet. Gotcha, the hacker's hat is on your head. Either honestly pay a fine of more than 50,000 yuan, or pack up your clothes and be sentenced to 3 years in prison.
Some people say that the budget was prepared for 5 days, and the next day it was confiscated.
Some netizens said that when they went to Singapore in college, they were fined tens of thousands for just rubbing Wi-Fi, and they were fined thousands for eating in the subway.
Yes, you read that right, if you don't accept the cutlery and countertops after eating, you will also be fined!
Some people who are used to being "unqualified" in China went to Singapore, didn't they just stack buffs, and they were all fined and confiscated all of a sudden? Singapore's fines, down-to-earth, permeate every detail of life. Not only will you be fined for not collecting the tableware after eating, but you will also lose 800 yuan if you don't flush the toilet, and you will also be fined if you don't flush cleanly!
It's hard to go there, and you have to leave some traces. "XX to visit here" is engraved on the wall, standing in the grass and waving silk scarves, which is also the traditional art of many Chinese people. But if you do this in Singapore, the maximum fine is S$2,000 or you face a prison sentence of up to 3 years. If you're lucky, you might even experience whipping.
Brave the red light, don't take the zebra crossing, you can't eat in Singapore. If you violate, you will be fined S$50 without negotiation. In serious cases, there is also a fine of up to S$1,000 or a three-month prison sentence. Spitting or littering, fine! Smoke everywhere, fine!
Random release of animals, punishment! Only you can't think of it, and no Singapore can't do it. Everyone who doesn't follow the rules will enjoy the caresses of the Iron Fist in Singapore. Under the name of "Garden City", there are countless people who do not believe in evil. So, these middle-class people who "returned to poverty overnight" touched their shriveled wallets and sighed at the skySingapore is good, not next time!
However, unexpectedly, Singapore's fine measures have been unanimously approved by most people in China. A netizen hit the nail on the head:Don't jaywalk, don't feed animals, don't spit, don't flush the toilet, don't scribble, don't affect others, aren't they all the most basic qualities?
In other words, you have quality, have a sense of public morality, and abide by these rules in the country, no matter how you go, you don't have to worry about fines. Otherwise, who will you punish if you don't punish you? But not everyone in China has this kind of awareness. Just two days ago, an elderly man was found smoking in a high-speed rail toilet. The staff rushed to the scene and asked the old man several times: Where did the cigarette butts go?
The other party also stood by and watched the excitement. The speed of the high-speed train is so fast, once the cigarette butt is lit, in less than a minute, a carriage is burned out, and people have no time to retreat. If you don't take your own life seriously, other people's lives are also your lives. This kind of person, if he is not punished severely, he will have a long memory? Xi'an Datang Sleepless City burst into flames, followed by garbage everywhere, cleaning a day to transport more than a dozen trucks of garbage, can not catch up with the speed of tourists to make garbage.
The sea of Internet celebrity flowers in a park in Zhejiang was trampled on by tourists, and they even took them off to take pictures. The security guards could not help except shout loudly to dissuade them and shout hoarsely.
The man climbed the Great Wall and was photographed carving words on the wall, and in many places, it was densely packed with traces left by tourists. If one is found, he will be severely punished, or detained, and leave a stain on his resume, will such behavior still be so rampant?
People are the ones who know how to seek advantage and avoid disadvantage, and when they find that it is not cost-effective to do so, they will stop acting stupidly. Speaking of which, we are still too indulgent and merciful to these giant babies in our country. The punishment is not severe enough, and the methods are not strong enough, which leads to similar situations repeatedly. When an old lady in Jiangsu was receiving an infusion in the hospital, she felt a little pain when she pulled out the needle, so she had a verbal altercation with the hospital staff and slapped the security guard.
was slapped in the face, and the security guard originally wanted to reason with her, but in exchange for a second slap from the aunt harder. The security guard resisted in anger, and this time the aunt became even more arrogant and began to smash various facilities in the infusion room. Without compensation, she doesn't stop.
The same thing happened in Shanghai. A woman questioned **'s operation error, so she slapped **, and then used both hands to greet **'s head and body. **, this** look, all of them have been left behind.
But for such a heinous act, he was only detained for 9 days and fined 500It can only be said that this price is inevitably too light. However, what if something like this happened in Singapore? Take last year's Chinese Internet celebrity Sun making a big fuss at a Singapore hospital as an example. She complained a lot because of the long waiting time at the hospital in Singapore. After ** explained and reminded her many times to wear a mask according to the regulations, she angrily burst into a foul language. ** The response is very direct, call the police. And after the ** arrived, she still played tricks and insulted the police.
She was sentenced to 5 weeks and 5 days in prison, fined S$600 and repatriated. Seeing such a severe punishment, she immediately pleaded guilty and was punished, and paid 1Bail of 50,000 yuan.
Tu was quick to talk for a while and paid a huge amount of tuition. This Internet celebrity is used to being arrogant in China, so she is so domineering in Singapore, but Singapore law is not used to her. As a netizen in the comment area said:She believes that verbal abuse of medical staff is a basic right of the Chinese people.
I still remember a woman in Beijing. She insisted on bringing a fruit knife into the subway station, and when the police dissuaded and warned her, she kicked the police in the crotch as if she had suddenly gone crazy, and then slapped the police in the corridor.
After being brought to interrogation for assaulting a police officer and obstructing official duties, she laughed and said that she would be detained for up to 15 days, with a mocking smile written all over her face.
These people who beat **, police, and security guards, in fact, they knew that they were doing something wrong from the beginning, but they just wanted to mess around and be brutal and violent to the end, because they didn't need to pay much price. Therefore, in the face of these unqualified, arrogant and unreasonable scum, we often fall into a deep helplessness. In the final analysis, it is the connivance of the system and the tolerance of society that will make them more and more aggressive and rampant.
Do you still remember the aunt who made a big fuss in the duty-free shop at a foreign airport a few years ago? She angered the duty-free shop staff over some trivial matters, beat people, and slapped the clerk twice.
Later, she was arrested by the airport ** and sent to a detention center where she was detained on charges of assault. Eventually, she will face prison time and a sky-high fine! In April 2018, after a Chinese woman was rejected by a waiter for cutting the line at a coffee shop in the United States, she angrily picked up a hot coffee from a customer next to her, splashed it on the clerk's face, and quickly fled.
As a result, within a few days, she was arrested by ** and will face up to 10 years in prison after being prosecuted for "wounding people with weapons".
In February 19, a Chinese student in the Philippines was dissatisfied with the security personnel not allowing her to bring Douhua to the car, and in a fit of anger, she threw the Douhua in her hand at the law enforcement officers.
In the end, she was arrested by ** and the immigration bureau successively, and finally deported.
The "giant baby" mentality of recklessness and just wanting to make jokes will not work abroad at all.
What kind of wrong thing you do, what kind of price you pay, this is the scene that every earthling wants to see.
It will get used to you at home, but it won't get used to you abroad.
If you keep being shameless and spilling, you will eventually pay the price for your actions.
There are no rules, there are no rules.
Without an iron fist, it is even more impossible to crush the cheekiness of the unqualified.
It is impossible to achieve a civilized society by relying on moral restraint alone.
Someone once asked: Why is it that in the temple of compassion, the Bodhisattvas are all low-eyed and kind-eyed, while the Vajra are angry-eyed and vicious?
Because it's not enough to have a bodhisattva's heart, you have to have thunder means.
"King Kong was angry, so he surrendered to the four demons; The Bodhisattva lowered his eyebrows, so there are six paths of compassion. ”
