Did you know Singapore is actually an archipelago with more than sixty smaller islands? We will head to St. John and Lazarus Island, a group of inlets shielding one of Singapore’s best kept secrets, pristine white beaches and practically no development! Kusu Island, which means turtle, houses several places of worship. In addition to soaking up history and legend there, don’t miss Kusu Island’s quiet beaches. The Southern Islands offer peace and tranquility away from the bustle of Singapore.
Crafts and Bird Song in the Heartland
Bird Singing Cages
March 12, 2022
If you are interested in handmade crafts and local hobbies, join this tour to visit the last remaining businesses that still fashion their wares by hand, a gem in modern Singapore. Have you watched lion dances and marveled at the colorful lion heads? You are privileged to meet the last remaining craftsman who makes the lion heads from his HDB home. You can even order one of his beautifully crafted lion heads as a collector’s item. We will learn about those giant incense sticks with their colorful decorations seen at the temples. Hear from the ‘horse’s mouth’ about how they are made and you can have fun by having a go at fashioning your own creation. Heard of the interesting hobby of bird singing? Come & see for yourself and be serenaded by these wonderful ‘song birds’, right in the HDB heartlands of Ang Mo Kio. This is where the birds get to train their vocal cords and you can chat with the ‘uncles’ who love their birds.
