I still have quite a lot to discover in Singapore. We just went for a stroll in MacRitchie Reservoir park and were amazed by how extensive the primary forest remains. We made a 10 kilometres walk in the middle of the virgin forest. If not the heat and the thunderous threatening weather, I am sure we could have walked much more than this. Wildlife is extensive considering we are in the middle of a highly developed urban environment. Squirrels, goanas, birds and of course monkeys. Most surprisingly, contrary to many other places we have visited in Asia, monkeys in Singapore are quite frightened of humans. It is probably due to the fact that it is strictly forbidden to feed them and fines are hefty if you are caught doing so. In Bali, for exemple, monkeys are quite aggressive and do not hesitate to come and steal from your pockets.
