We had breakfast at the Mustafa Shopping Centre, sweet and savoury buns.

We take the subway and go to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, the only primary rainforest area in Singapore. There is a reservoir and people canoeing. We make a route to some footbridges and we are surprised by a group of monkeys, they look like macaques.

We go back through the passageway of the reservoir and when we get to the stop, the same group of monkeys is on the canopy, others try to steal a boy's food, thank God it's not the first time this happens because he defends himself well, they are very aggressive.

We eat some tuna fish pasties and take the subway, next stop Orchard Road. It's a huge avenue with luxury shops, hundreds of people shopping, all lit up. We eat an ice cream in a street stall, it's like a green sandwich with ice cream inside, very nice.

We go back to the hotel to pick up our backpacks and go to the station, our bus leaves at nine. It's very spacious, only three seats per row. It takes us ten hours to get to Georgetown. At the border between Singapore and Malaysia a chaos, we have to get off the bus, everybody running, it looks like a Benny Hill chapter.
