Ok, here is the elevated walkway a couple of kilometers from Mt. Faber, in the Forest Walk section of the interconnected trails. It’s over a kilometer long and descends gently down a hill that’s largely covered in secondary rainforest growth. That is, if you start at the top of Mt. Faber. If you start at […]
Last weekend we went walking up and around Mount Faber. This is a centrally located park in south central Singapore. You can take a taxi there, or you could go to the Harbourfront MRT station and take the cable car (gondola) that connects that station both to the top of Mount Faber and down to […]
The library system in Singapore is good, but not free. Foreigners pay $57/year for membership, and locals pay $24 (I think). You can reserve books, but it costs $1.55 per book. Late fees are fifty cents a day. You may not borrow more than 8 books at any time, or borrow more books if you […]
This is something we did over the weekend. Late one afternoon we got off the MRT at Raffles Place and headed towards the river. From there you can look across at the Asian Civilizations Museum (yellow building on the right), the Stamford Raffles Landing Place (white statue) and some other stuff. We didn’t cross over, […]
This place is surprisingly near the university, within walking distance, in fact. There are sculptures made of pots at the entrance. I don’t know if they make these pots here, but they’re cool sculptures anyway. There are lots of trees and tree-houselike structures to climb around in, with views of more and more greenery and […]

Hah. Heat no longer holds any terrors for me. I like to go hiking or exercising early in the morning, before it heats up (anything over 82 degrees Fahrenheit, the nightly low lately, is heating up), but couldn’t get my spouse going until 9:30. So we hiked for 3.5 hours between 10 a.m. and 1:30 […]
I see from my blog statistics that there’s a steady of trickle of people who find this site by googling “Singapore sex blog.” God, how disappointed they must be. But I’ll do my best, speaking as a monogamous married type who keeps early hours and lives about an hour’s ride from the red-light districts. Yes, […]
Just a reminder that today is Saturday. Tune in to Channel 6 (ChannelnewsAsia) at 8:00 if you want to watch the Japanese tourism show, one of my favorites. See the middle-aged couple on the train! Behold the special hot bath ingredients at the traditional inn! Linger over the local specialties the couple eat after their […]
A few weeks ago, faithful readers may recall, I posted a few blog entries whose titles intertwined prurience and celebrities, wondering if that would create a spike in my audience. Tracing back the slight increase in hits, I found that two people found this site by googling Zhang Ziyi, and one via Stephen Chow. Celebrities, […]
