Bunkers! Monster Guns! Poetry Reading While Digging Your Grave!
I’ve never gone on a Duck Tour. But I recently did get to go on two bus tours. And that just quacks me up! Guffaw. First up was Friday’s dry run of The Jack of Hearts Mystery Tour, which is an event tied up to the screening of Saint Jack this week. More on this soon over at my colleague, the Flick Chick’s blog. Saturday afternoon, I tagged along on the War On Wheels tours organised by the National Heritage Board as part of their Explore Singapore campaign (you know, the one with the “I heart Museums” logo). Pretty interesting stuff that’s been going on for the past two Saturdays. The last one will be this coming Saturday. There were two tours to choose from: Invasion Singapore! and Singapore Under The Gun. The former starts at 9am while the latter began at 3.30pm. Guess what I chose. Contrary to the kancheong spider schedule on Sistic, the tours only run for around 4 ½ hours and not 7 hours. During which, they take you to the lesser known museums. The itinerary for the SUG one starts at Changi Museum then heads down to Johore Battery, Changi Beach, Fort Canning Park’s The Battle Box bunkers and finally at City Hall. ***
