1. Introduction
Technology to make the world exchange information more frequently. One developed and famous country can attract people from different countries into. People have dreams to make more money and a better life came to the country. It certainly will increase the communicating across cultures opportunities and impact in across cultures. Singapore is a typical example. Cross-cultures refers to the globalization, social mobility increased and ethnically mixed by a kind of social phenomenon. This phenomenon will change tradition and create new culture. Singapore has gathered Chinese, Malay, Indian and so on the different culture. We should to cultural differences or conflict cultural phenomenon, customs, habits to have sufficient and correct understanding, and on this basis to include attitude to accept and adaptive. I introduce the detail about across cultures when I stay at Singapore and some in Thailand tourism experiences. It includes religion, language and custom.
2. Religion
2.1 Christianity in Singapore
Singapore is a multiethnic and multicultural immigrant society, thus collected the world many religions. Christianity is a popular religion in Singapore. It is the second largest religion in Singapore, with large numbers of believers. I used to belong to a team of Christ in Singapore. Its members are more young people composition, all of members are students. But not all of the members are Christians. The leader is a Singaporean, is a devout Christian. I still remember the first time I take part in the team situation. Due to a friend’s recommendation, he had joined a Christian team organization go to see a movie. I also want to see the film, so I with them together. First, we go to have a dinner. Because of so many members, we occupied three tables. People who first join the team sitting together, so most of the time the leader in our here. We introduced ourselves to each other. I thought he would talk some things about religion. But he did not say Christian anything, just talk something about studying and living in the Singapore. After dinner, we went to watch “The Avengers”. Until we took photos together and were ready to go home, the leader asked me if I have interest and I can join their team, can attend various activities, made new friends. Finally we exchange the contact number. After that day, I joined a few times Christ team activity, and my friend has officially became a Christian. According to experience from join Christ team. I know that there are many branches of Christianity. The team serves for Christian neo-evangelicals. The believers believe in Holy Father, Holy Son and Holy Spirit. They are banned from eating the blood of animals. The only Christian aim is Love God hardly, Love people fatherly. Christian neo-evangelicals has once the Holy Spirit baptism each month. The believers drink Jesus’s blood, and eat Jesus’s skin, the blood and skin is made of food. They go to church and collection each week.
2.2 Buddhism in China
Nowadays, the most famous religious is Buddhism. China has a large number of temples and Buddhist believers, it originated in ancient China, the emperor in order to rule and control his country, to encourage the development of Buddhism. On the other hand, many children want to study kung fu, and they can become the disciples of Shaolin temple. Because of Shaolin kung fu, Shaolin Temple are known to the world, Shaolin Temple in the Tang Dynasty to the prestigious, it has been inscribed on the World Heritage List by the United Nations. The children who study in Shaolin Temple, they are not real monks, they are commonly known as the Shaolin lay disciples, and they just study kung fu. But I think that Buddhism will exert a subtle influence on their character.
2.3 Common and distinguish
Both of Christianity and Buddhism are the most influential religious all over the world. They have a few things in common. For example, they have explicitly forbidden to eat some food, Christianity neo-evangelicals in Singapore cannot eat blood of animals, so the believers cannot eat two-thirds cooked steak. Buddhist monk in China cannot eat meat and drink wine. Sometimes, some very devout Buddhists who are not monk, they are also vegetarians, but they just eat vegetables are not for vegetarian, they believe Buddhism. Both of Christianity and Buddhism are to collect the money through fund-raising. In China, people can buy incense from temple, it is temple of another revenue in China.

I think there is a big difference between Buddhism and Christianity. If you believe in Buddhism, you are not necessarily a monk, you can married, eat meat, and drink wine. You do not necessarily very pious, but you can say “I believe in Buddhism.” My ex-girlfriend’ family is like this. They put a bodhisattva at home and to burn incense to worship every day. Christianity is not the same, many infants from birth to be baptized and become Christian. If a person believe Jesus, he or she must be a Christian. But in China, if a person said “I believe in Buddhism.” You cannot say that he must be a monk.

3. Language
Singapore is a country brought together a variety of cultural elements. It is a multilingual country with four official languages of Chinese, English, Malay and Tamil. A considerable number of expatriates living in Singapore, about 150million people. The Lion City citizen main distinction of race: Chinese accounted for 74.1% of the population and 13.4% of Malaysian, Indians 9.2% and 3.3% of the Eurasian, accounting for 1/4 of the population. Therefore, people who living Singapore can often hear people use English, Chinese, Malay and Hindi. Each foreigners came to Singapore, they can be heard most special language in Singapore, “Singlish”. I think that is the inevitable result of the culture of the multi-element. But it will make the foreigners and Singaporeans communication difficulties, and information to understand the difference. For example, one day I took the MRT, a very old Chinese woman ask me a question about station. At first time I did not hear clearly from her, I said, “sorry?” And she said again, but she said the station’s name which one I never hear it. I had sorry to tell her, “I do not know”. This time, a young man who likes a white collar, he said with a smile, “Grandma, bugis is the next station.” I think of the old woman’s word, oh! She said the Bugis, but I did not understand. We walked out MRT, I did not walk in her side, because I am ashamed to tell her answer, and I was worried that she thinks I do not want to help her or I joked with her.
4. Custom
Different regions have different cultures and customs. This year my classmates and I went to Thailand travel, and taking note of the Thai customs different from other places. For example, in China people like to shake hands to express courtesy. The young people just raise a hand at the side of the face. In Thailand, people will put their hands together and bow to express courtesy. We lived in an island, and the road is more rugged, so we did not see bicycle, Thais prefer to ride a motorcycle. In my hometown, one modern city in China. There are no mountains in the city, and road is relatively flat, so we like drive car or by bicycle. On other hand, we can ride elephants walked in the street, but it is impossible in my city. 5. Conclusion
Therefore, we live in a multicultural city, and feeling the breath of the different cultures. The different religious, language and custom influence our life. It makes people to more united, there is no discrimination. People have different culture, background and education in Loin City, and they will build a more beautiful city. On other hand, government should pay attention for impact of cross cultural communication. The government should promote the exchange and integration of different culture. It is very important to Singapore.
