Singapore 2008 -- My second home for over 12 years now is more than just an urban jungle (in)famous for its rigid ways and antiseptic confines. Away from the concrete jungle, outside the business district and the malls, even in the quiet hearth of a home, lie different new worlds that make this small island nation entirely new and altogether interesting.

Sungei Buloh Wetlands, Singapore, April 2008 -- This first visit to the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, a nature reserve located in the northwest region of Singapore, is a rich exercise in greening. Everywhere here is green, and wildlife -- the flying and crawling and climbing kind -- abound in the forest canopies, mangroves and rain forest grounds. The first wetlands reserve to be gazetted in Singapore in the year 2002, its global importance as a stop-over point for migratory birds was also recognized by the Wetlands International's inclusion of the reserve into the East Asian Australasian Shorebird Site Network. The reserve has an area of 1.30 square kilometers, plenty enough room to spend a whole day amidst nature in an otherwise glass-and-metal-and-concrete country.
