Jurong bird Park
I arrived in Singapore early in the day and had a few things planned on this trip, having been here a number of times before I have seen most of the sites. I hadnt visited Changi Prison or the Jurong bird park so they were high on my to do list.

I had already checked my bag in for the flight home so I took a cab straight from the airport to the Changi Museum, eventually the cabbie found it and I visited a place that my my uncle endured for much of WW2, I found the place quiet poignant and very interesting. I left a note there in memory of my uncle before visiting the chapel and the restaurant for a beer. I then caught a bus back to the nearest subway station catching a train to Orchard Rd and my hotel.

I ventured out to do some internetting and to have a feed before having an early night, I woke up early the next morning venturing out for a feed before taking the train out to Jurong West station and then transferring on to the bus to the bird park. I must admit I couldnt believe the scale of the place and spent many hours wandering around snapping photo's of many birds I had never seen before.

I then went to Bugis St market in the late afternoon before catching the train to the airport, I had to wait about 3 hours before my flight left.

This trip to asia was amazing I hope to head back there in the future especially to Indonesia as there is still so much there to see.

I travel whenever time and money allows, seeking interesting sights and experiences where ever I can find them. To date I have seen large expanses of the Asian, European and African continents. My next trip in 2013 will be around the three seas, the Mediterranean, the Black and the Caspian. In 2014 I will travel through Southern and East Africa, bring on those gorillas.... full info
