Singapore - Bukit Timah

My workmate Gary and I visited Bukit Timah nature reserve today, after first exploring out local surrounds and nutting out the public transport system.

It was really busy there but great to see so many people out walking, running and mountain biking. It was a bit weird seeing lots of Chinese walking backwards down a steep path as a form of exercise and we had to work quite hard to avoid them as we walked up. Once we got to the top of the hill via the main track it was easy to take a quieter path and ditch the crowds.

The trees here are cool - most of them have long straight trunks with an explosion of leaves at the top. Some of them have got more leafy biomass in parasites than on the tree itself.

No monkey photos unfortunately but there were heaps of them there!
