In my bag

There are a few things that I never leave home without here in Singapore.  If you ever visit Singers or Asia for that matter you may want to include a few of these in your bag as well...

#1 - Wallet
Seems pretty obvious...

#2 - Passport & green card
First, the card that permits me to be in the country for longer than 30 days is indeed green.  I'm supposed to have it with me at all times.  And there are a lot of things here in Singapore that require your passport so I typically have mine with me.

#3 - Cash
Unlike the US where you can pay for just about everything with a credit card or debit card (I rarely have cash when I am home) here in Singers you really need to have cash.  Most of the places like grocery stores, pharmacies, etc accept credit cards but most people tend to pay with cash. 

#4 - Mobile phone
Very important for keeping in touch...and for checking the bus arrivals...and calling taxis...

#5 - Camera
I almost always have one of my cameras in my bag.  If there is one thing I have learned from being here is that you never ever know what you might come across and should always have a camera on the ready.

#6 - Handkerchief
I know this is hard to see but is standard white handkerchief.  It is always hot, hot, hot out and it is good to have something to wipe the sweat off of your brow.

#7 - Mass Transit Card & apartment building key card
Mass transit card is good for travel on bus, MRT, and in some taxis.  The apartment building key card is critical to get myself into my building.

#8 - Keys
House key and mailbox key.

#9 - Kleenex
The hawker centers here don't give out napkins so you always need to have tissues.

#10 - Umbrella
Something that you only get caught without once and you'll never forget it again...because no matter what happens if you forget your umbrella a downpour will occur.
