Ride a Bum Boat
The tiny boats that use to carry supplies up and down the Singapore River now ferry tourists along the busy waterway surrounded by the city's entertainment districts, lovely parks and its forest of futuristic skyscrapers. The bum boats started out being called "bump boats" because in the early days of Singapore there were so many of them they would bump into each other on the river. The "p" was later dropped.
