When friends come visiting from overseas, we enjoy showing them the greener, wilder side of Singapore. Even though we now have a new theme park in Sentosa, casino-resorts & giant malls along Orchard Road, it's the solitude & back-to-Nature feel that we prefer to share by hiking on our favourite MacRitchie trail.Sajit & Andrew (pictured above) are my long-lost schoolmates from St Joseph's Institution, who have happily re-connected with me through recent class reunions. Shoo & Sian (at left, with Theresa) are friends from almost 20 years ago when they graciously shared a delicious home-cooked meal with us in Boston while we were all living abroad.
Sajit, who now lives in California, has his own favourite trails back home. Shoo & Sian have their fabulous walks back in Canada. We had so much fun on the MacRitchie trail that we promised to visit them sometime soon in their neck of the woods.
