Singapore - City of No
Singapore is famous for its radical rules. There are even t-shirts that joke about how many rules there are. No chewing gum, no spitting, no jay-walking, and the list goes on. Some of these rules have been relaxed, so it really isn't that big of a deal to chew gum in public. However, we saw the following sign in the rail station and it had us laughing.
If someone can explain what "no monotony" means, we'd be happy to hear it.

Not sure why a headset means no monotony, maybe they have an iPod shuffle...
Ironic that in the city of 'no' the signs are posted on some serious graffiti
It's just saying that even though your headset is tuned to a reasonable level, you shouldn't be playing crappy music. Even if no one else can hear it (cause that's against the rules) crappy music never adds to the betterment of the world and should be avoided.
