What we usually do is take a taxi from Singapore to Mersing in the evening - On Fri night that can cost as much as S$120,-- which includes 2 hours of traffic jam at the border. At any other time it should be cheaper and far less time consuming. NB from JB to Mersing by taxi will cost between RM 130-...

living in SG for over 2 yrs now we found Tioman the best doable weekend getaway - but we like diving which is outstanding as well as the snorkelling. We normally stay on (budget) ABC Beach which is simple and does not really feel touristy as there are no big crowds or package tours - a good backerpa...

Just in case someone is still getting excited by my previous recommendation let me update all reggae lovers that Reggae House has moved to another island Koh Phangan, it's no longer a doable weekend option from Singapore!

awesome plan, count me in!

I went to the cure in the indoor Stadium and while I thought the concert was superb most enjoyable, I was slightly disturbed by few rows of people standing in front of me with their cameras above their heads some even filming complete songs. Since I am a bit taller than the average Singaporean, i en...

hi, yes we have done this hike some months ago with 3 forum members. The article is from 2004 and the track has changed quite a bit ; actually Singapore - obviously being frustrated that Malayan Railway refuses to sell the land despite the fact that no trains have been running here since 1991 - has ...

Ok this will be my last post for tonight, but a great and nearly unexplored backpakers destination worth considering is Bangladesh. No hassle - just be prepared for curiosity and great hospitality! A multiday river cruise on a paddle steamer is much recommended! Flights are a bit more expensive than...

one remark about India, I backpacked in Rajastan before for 6 weeks, and it was definately fascinating culture but unfortunately the overall experience was not very nice due to the continuous hassle as soon as I stepped out my hostel/hotel, you simply won't be left alone -even if you give in and hir...

Myself am still looking for XMAS/NY backpacking trip. Last years I went to Uganda (2005) and for trekking in Yunnan (2006). Actually am thinking to go back to amazing Uganda, inclusive a few days on Banda Island see fe http://www.traveluganda.co.ug/banda-island Ethiopian flies there pretty cheap fro...

Ok not really Singapore, but if you are really desperate, it may be worth to keep an eye on parties at Reggae House on Ko Lanta, Thailand; these guys have a most amazing and obscure collection of roots records I ever heard - inclusive of authentic scratches- as well as loads of instruments for every...

I am extremely interested!

thanks!!

OK, let's meet 10:30am at Dover MRT, exit A, busstop B07?

We can then take a short busride to King Albert Park and start at Bukit Timah Railway Station.
if anyone prefer to travel to King Albert Park direct, pls let me know so no need to wait at Dover.

Hope to see you there!

cool link that is and yes that's the hike, one of the few places where nature beats manmade structures! Bring your friend(s) along but since this is a nature walk it would be appropriate to keep the group small. By the way some people have written me already personally they want to join so don't wor...

Jurong Bird Park (adm $22), that's not really where I would take friends to unless they have kids. Better head for the awesome Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve (adm $1). ...and of course the Central Catchment Reserve (Macritchie, Lower/Upper Peirce) have good parks, walking trails and nature scenery (in...

Hi,

This Saturday 15th I'd like to go for a half day hike following the long abandoned railway track between Bukit Timah and Jurong. This is supposedly one of the top hikes in Singapore.

Looking for companions.
