In Singapore, you can hardly smoke in the street anymore. Of course, you can't throw cigarette butts or chewing gum on the ground.
I understand about the pigeons of Venice. But I've never heard of camouflage clothing in Barbados and mineral water in Nigeria.
Imagine what you learn!

BP, I've heard that there are strict rules in Singapore, so you have to be careful... I can understand the pigeons in Venice, but I'm still surprised. I have the impression that there are usually vendors there selling food to feed the pigeons, and that pigeon feeding is mentioned in guidebooks as an activity for children...
