 Beautiful Teak Bridges
woven into a swamp by bpacker
Alternatively, if you don't feel like leaving Singapore, you could pop over the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve in Kranji to take a look. This protected park is home to 200+ indigenous plants and a temporary stop for migratory birds in Asia. And the best thing of it all, you don't have to wade thru' the bog to look at all these, there is a beautiful walkway weaving thru' the whole length of the swamp.

 Mount Faber Park by bpacker
Most people go there to scare the living daylights out of themselves by grabbing a ride to Sentosa (cable car ).

 Far East Square, Line
Dancing by bpacker
Line Dancing is currently in vogue with the older folks in Singapore as they're about the only sane folks who will listen to country and western blues. That's not all, these folks will meet every weekend in their cowboy hats, boots, jeans, checkered shirts and dance their hearts out in various parts of Singapore. To check out the action, pop down to Far East Square ( near Chinatown ) to watch at least a hundred folks dancing in co-ordination to the latest and most depressin' country blues. Music aside, it's good, clean fun. The folks will even teach you how to dance if you allow them to. Leave a Comment

 Darjeeling tea for you,
darling? by bpacker
Now, before you're thinking I'm pulling a fast one on you, I'm not. The local zoo offers a unique breakfast opportunity with these hairy lovelies (Orang Utans) at their restaurant. Of course, if you do decide to go, you don't have to share your waffles with them. A seperate fruit basket will be given to you, just don't gorge on the monkey's breakfast.

 A Bug's Life...a bug 1 day, a
dish another day.. by bpacker
Well, eating deep-fried scorpions, ants and water bugs is not something you'd expect in urban Singapore but somewhere in the FEAR FACTOR studios in Hollywood right?Well, there are no prizes for eating these delicacies because some locals believe that your health will improve when you indulge in this gory delight. If you want to have a go at it, pop down to the Imperial Garden Restaurant ( next to Raffles Hotel ) or any of the Thai eateries at Golden Mile Shopping Centre at Beach Road ( water bugs). I bet you'll have an experience you'll never forget..
The Imperial Garden Restaurant is at 3rd Floor, Metropole Hotel 41, Seah Street, Singapore 188396 Leave a Comment
