Pasir Ris

---

Went to Pasir Ris, a park on the east coast of singapore. The place was very easy to find as it was only a short walk from the MTR station, which was also the terminal point foor the East/West line. When i got thier I decided to hire a bike for a couple of hours as it looked like a long walk, especially in the heat of the midday sun. The bike looked new and came with a little girly basket to put my rucsack in.
I started of slow as i didnt want to kill myself with the heat. Did I mention its hot here!!! The views where brilliant. You were looking though palm trees and across the sand, towards the clear blue ocean and the Big rusty cargo ships that were sailing past. My first stop off point was the Garden Maze. It took me 5mins to complete the maze. Wasnt very difficult as i could see over most parts of the hedge. Went exploring through the small nature reserves afterwards. Never seen anything, but the noise was deafening. Crickets i think, or hope it was.
In the park they also had 'The Fisherman's Village', a small row of resturants across the beach. As it was early, most were closed. Looks like a good place to go too at night with a group of friends.
Done what all Glasweigians do. Threw stones. Into the water at least haha. Wrote some stuff in the sand and i had a few people watching me from a distance wondering what i was doing. When I had finished and moved away, i looked back to find that they were down looking at what was written.
The park also has plenty of spaces for tents to pitch up. BBQ pits are everywhere with vending machines dotted about the place. Everywhere in singapore you will find vending machines in the most unusual place. No one dares to vandalize them or damaged them. The are all spotless like most of the city and even in some places like where I am staying. Where my hotel is, its the most respectable part of the street.
The park has been the highlight of my stay in Singapore so far.

It sometimes helps to be tall. I could see over the hedges for the most part, making it very easy to navigate

Behind the tress was one of the nature reserves inside the park. I couldnt see anything though. However the sound of the crickets was at times deafening
