Be a Singapore Tourist Again...

I have been following and reading 蔚藍手札 by Euphtw for some times. I came to know about their blog in 2009 while I was doing research on birding area of Taiwan. Since then, we have been in contact and exchange of knowledge. When Euphtw told me that they are coming to Singapore, I volunteer myself to be their guide (birding) and be a Singapore tourist again. They are here in Singapore attending a seminar and will have few days free for birding after the seminar. 

After several recce trips , I decided to show them an off-shore island, a nature reserve and some tourist attraction area to have a mix experience of what Singapore can offer.

For most foreigner, Singapore is a modern city. To know what Singapore is like before developed into a modern city today, Pulau Ubin is the best place to experience life in Singapore where there is no high-rise building, no air-con restaurant, no shopping mall, etc.

Singapore do have forested area & nature reserves. Visit to this area will complete one's experience of Singapore. Most tourist will know Merlion, but most didn't know Singapore do have a wild side waiting to be explored!

Singapore has a tropical rain forest climate, so is normal that at this moment sunny and

heavy rain or thunder storm next.

Despite the heavy downpour, we managed to see lots of things. From small critters to

big big bird such as Oriental Pied Hornbill! Where in the world will you be able to see a wild hornbill in just a meter away! Truly unique Singapore.  :)

 As bird guide, food is also on the to do or to go list. How can one visit Singapore without trying the famous Chili crab!

 Beehoon crab or Crab noodle is for those who can't take spicy food.

 Of course Chicken rice is another must try when visit Singapore.

After the wild side of Singapore, is time to visit the iconic Marina Bay of Singapore! Do drop by  : 蔚藍手札 if you are also interested to know what we seen at those non-touristy area.
