flora and fauna

So last weekend was all about natural Singapore. We went to the Bukit Tumah Nature Preserve which is the largest area of original rain forest on the island. It was pretty amazing. Lot's of different trees. The highlight though was seeing wild monkeys. It was so obvious that monkeys are like squirrels to Asian folks who paid absolutely no attention to them. And even more obvious that we are tourists from all of the picture and video taking. Wyatt actually paid attention to them though as they were way more active then the monkeys he's seen on the zoo. The next day we went to the Night Safari which is basically a zoo that you go to at night. It is touted as the highlight of peoples trips to Singapore in several guide books. We felt it didn't live up to the hype. Maybe it's because we saw the monkeys the day before.
