Too many cyclists

Just got back from cycling along the East Coast Parkway, which is a nice stretch of palm trees and beach the extends along the east coast of Singapore. What madness!

Trying to cycle here is like trying to navigate your way through the Chatuchak markets in Bangkok. Impossible. Kids were running all over the path, cyclists cycling in front, behind and cutting across your line, and worst of all, rollerbladers going left, right and centre.

Well its no wonder we prefer cycling at 10pm at night, cause there is no-one around!!!

I can't believe there were sooo many people there. It was like tent city all along the east coast. Every man and his dog had a tent. And to top it off, for every tent, there would have been at least 15 people.

Today is Singapore's National Day, and lucky me managed to score some tickets. So I'm looking forward to experiencing some Singapore nationalism later today. Its gonna be real interesting. Funny thing is, I don't even attend Australia Day events in Australia! But the worst thing about today is that you can't drink beer at the National Day!!!! Who ever heard of a National Day without beer? Absurd! That is one thing Singapore has to change if its serious about its National Day. No amount of parades and army firepower can overcome the fact that you cant't drink beer.

To National Day we go!
