Good idea. I've let the Singapore Tourism Board know that they need to produce a bus map for distribution - right now nothing is available and the system is rather confusing for the uninitiated.

Two more sightseeing ideas:

1. The morning chirping competitions of caged birds on Tiong Bahru at Kim Seng (not for animal rights activists). Some of the cages are nicely designed, as are the ornaments inside, and the bird song is remarkable.

2. The URA (Urban Redevelopment Authority) Gallery at 45 Maxwell Road in Chinatown. Gives you the inside scoop on how Singapore can accommodate 3.2 million people on a tiny island. Development methods and practices past and future with many displays, including a huge, optimistic model of planned megadevelopment downtown!
