Singapore is an island, small town (in terms of 284 Sq Miles), with a population of around 6 million has got 10 different express ways (AYE, PIE, BKE, ECP, KPE, MCE etc), 1 million plus HDB or public housing, apartments, 350k + condominiums etc. You can see plenty of high rise or skycrapers at every side of the island. Hence, it is also known as concrete jungle. But the real beauty of Singapapore lifestyle is the addiction to trees, gardens and the every growing eco awareness. In 1967, then, Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) wanted to build SG as a Garden City. And in 2024, SG is really a garden city. Why? Number of Trees: 8 million plus Public space by Hectares: 7800 Number of Parks (including Neighbourhood): 75 plus Focus on vertical greenery (150 plus) 17 reservoirs Rail Corridor or Green corridor (an audacious idea of converting old train track to Malaysia as green sector thereby growing thousands of species and to provide space for walk / bike Eco Link...
Do walk around Saunderton, Chiltern Hills, Buckinghamshire .... superb landscape !!! You need to take trains from Marylebone station, Central London to Saunderton. Saunderton railway station is a railway station on the A4010 road between High Wycombe and Princes Risborough. Loads of green surface, up and down hills and it is a delightful nature walk. I did the walk during Autumn and loved every bit of colours and lucky to see Rainbow as well. There is also Hellfire Caves (https://www.hellfirecaves.co.uk/gallery) and cafe for public. Do explore spending some time if you are going as a group. From Saunderton the route took us to nearby Bradenham, and enjoyed some refreshments at the village church on the green. Dashwood Mausoleum is on top of hills, West Wycombe and it is walkable from Hellfire caves. It is not open and one can walk around and enjoy the town view. Some fusion architecture of Russia and Egypt and was built in 1765. Enjoy the woods and walk ! Ke...
Malaysia is an interesting country. Multi-cultural society, plenty of English. Let us look at what to do at Malaysia: Kuala Lumpur (KL): Capital city of Malaysia, known for the popular twin tower from Petronas. Great place to shop such as Pavilion, Suria KLCC, Lot 10, Sunway Velocity & Midvalley Magamall etc . I also like Royal Selangor visitor centre to buy some home decors or silvers. Brickfields is an Indian neighbourhood and is very closed to KL Sentral. My favourite place is walk around River of Life (Jalan Benteng) at twilight. Visit at night for captivating lights and stunning views of the city’s oldest mosque, Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad. Don’t miss the nightly light show, when the river transforms into a striking cobalt blue, and water and lights dance to various musical tracks. KL is extremely popular and well known for street food. Jalan Bukit Bintang is the neighbourhood and has got a Monorail stop. Pls get down and walk around Jalan Alor or Hutong F...
