A day in the Jungle

So today I took a bumboat to Pulau Ubin, rented a mountain bike, and spent the day riding around the island. With only 100 residents, it's apparently much like Singapore was before modern development. I also learned that when the Chinese stir-fry fresh fish, they remove neither the bones nor the heads. Not to be culturally insensitive, but the heads stayed on my plate. I wouldn't know how to eat them with chop sticks anway.

Here are some pictures from the Island.

An old quarry - no swimming allowed.
