Tourists in Singapore

Ah Boy said, "One day, someone is going to walk in front of you, take your camera handphone and smash it to pieces!!"

No, it's not what he said. It was my wild imagination that went through my mind because I am just shooting everything I see. Practically anything. He sometimes ends up walking in front by himself because, along the way, I have probably taken a different detour or stop by and took some pictures.



Last weekend as we drove towards Suntec - I saw from afar, a group of tourists taking shots at the skyline towards the Marina Bay. Then, my instincts to grab my camera handphone just got activated and I shot these fellas instead. Then someone in the group pointed at me, in the car. And they waved their hands, and they had a flag with them too. They waved their flag frantically and smiled. To be the perfect host, I wind down the car window and wave and gave them a cheeky grin.



Wow! Lucky they weren't angry.. hahaha I think they were part of the many tourists that stayed behind in Singapore after the Formula 1 Night Race ended.

In Singapore - Chinatown, if you take photos, you'll be expected to get some angry stares and shouts from the shop owners or vendors. They are not very happy with cameras, and I wondered why. If one can help them publicize their stores, why not? Perhaps they have some underlying secret they are afraid others know? Or they are worried about spies from competitors?
