Replying to @koolgal:What is chope? πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€//@koolgal:In Singapore we use Tissue paper to "chope" our tables in food centres.//@koolgal:

🌟🌟🌟A photo tells a thousand words and this photo which I took on my cruise on Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Sea earlier this year reflects ingenuity and creativity.

We were on a cruise to the lovely Pacific Islands and on this particular day we needed to take a tender boat to reach Mystery Island.  Mystery Island is named because when it is high tide, the island disappears covered by the ocean. 

So in order not to stand in a long queue as there were 4000 passengers, we use our slippers or shoes as markers for our position in the queue.   You can see some of the passengers barefooted in the photo sitting at the tables. 

Isn't that a brilliant idea?  On looking back, this shows that the human mind is really capable of thinking creatively and outside the box.  That is how some businesses are created and how the best ideas are the ones that are least expected.

    In Singapore if you go to a food court or a hawker centre, the locals like to put a small packet of tissue paper to "chope" the spot.

    It is like putting a towel on a deck chair in a cruise to reserve the spot.

    Chope is the local Singlish for reserve.
