SINGAPORE WARNING: WATCH YOUR HATS

Sometime Singapore expats and future expats visit this blog in order to find out what it is like for a foreigner to live in Singapore. They want to know about climate, job prospects, cars, and condos. I can tell this because of that little sitemeter icon that I keep at the bottom of this blog. Unfortunately, there is not much advice to be found on this site.

Well, today I'm going to put a piece of tangible, profound advice that will help foreigners living in Singapore. Ready?

Keep your hats clean and dry.

I've ruined two of my favorite baseball caps since I've been living in Singapore. In Missouri I could just hang my hats on nails in the garage or throw them up in a closet. The constantly changing climate of the Midwest would eventually offer a dry interval that would prevent my prized hats ruination. Here in Singapore, the incessant humidity prohibits such a cavalier hatcare regime.

If you have a hat in a tropical environment, it is important that you let it dry and air out before you store it.

Here is a picture of what will happen to your hats if you leave them untended.

Word of the Day
