Jaclyn and I took a trip out to MacRitchie Reservior yesterday to see the "tree-top walk". It is a bridge that is 80' above the ground skimming through the tree tops of one of the few natural areas here. When we found out it was a 15 km hike, we just sat down on a park bench at the lake.

Never, ever, fuck with this city's water supply!

Later on, we made it back to the CBD and Boat Quay for dinner with Jac's Mum and Dad.
Here is another view of the banks lining the quayside.

This is the Fullerton Hotel, which apparently was once a government building and houses S$400 rooms. (US$250)

For the most part, I like this place. I don't like malls much, so that's a problem for me. On the plus side, the food is amazing. The city itself has greenery everywhere. Every street is a garden. Even the pedestrian overpasses have potted plants.
The weather here isn't too bad considering that it doesn't get much more tropical. It's been about 28-30C (85') everyday, but the humidity is always at full bore. I think I'd rather take a dry 100' day at home than this, but it is liveable.
Today I am moving out of the Toh house in favor of a hostel in town. I like it here, but I don't want to stretch the limits of hospitality.
