Ezlink, the public transport payment card.

Do you take public transport? In Singapore, taking public transport is very convenient. To make things easier, there's a RFID card which we use to pay for public transport. It's called the EZLink card.

Using it is really simple. On buses, you just need to bring it near the entrance reader and it will detect it. When you get down the bus, do the same, it will then calculate how much the cost is and deduct your card accordingly.

You can also use the card on the train system. Well, this card also feeds you! Yes, you can pay for your burger at McDonalds too.

Here's the picture of the card. There are new designs now, this is the old design.



Do you have such public transport payment card in your country?

What keeps you cool?

What keeps you cool? In Singapore the day time temperature is around 30-32 Celcius. During the night it drops to around 25-27 Celcius.

What keeps people in Singapore cool? Air conditioning. I love it at around 24 Celcius.

Here's a picture of the compressor unit that is outdoor. This of course is a commercial unit which cool a building.



In fact I am now in the comfort of an air condition room posting this picture up. Do you love air conditioning?
