MacRitchie Nature Reserve (Singapore)

This is easily my favourite locale in Singapore. We went during the week and it was nearly deserted except for the wide range of fauna that call the forest home. I could spend the entire day watching long-tailed macaques frolic in the trees. As Gwen put it, “the trees are alive with monkeys!” There is simply nothing like this place in Canada. It is magic.

As a sidenote, do not try and stare down a long-tailed macaque. It is a far worse idea than jumping into a pool at midnight while drunk.

Devo,

Hilarious....but you're so cynical.

Although I have to say that I also reccall enjoying the free air conditioning, I can't belive the most enjoyable part of the botanical garden was the piss. Unbelievable. I think that was one of my most favorite parts of Singapore. Particularly, the orchid garden, amazing. I guess I was with my parents and barely 18. I'm sure I would have found loads more trouble at 26 with a significant other.

Good to hear from you my friend. Keep the stories coming.
