    Lovely place to visit is Singapore.
    Been there few times and I heard some strict lockdown is happening due to some community cases.
    Be safe Singapore, and I ll travel once again it is safe to do so or once I feel safe.
    I hope the community and SINGAPORE Comes out of it stronger and better

    Heeren would be ideal to hold a bicycle event on a busy Saturday Sunday right smack at the busy road junction. Once that little old building complete transforming into something biophilic and perhaps with Colours, however The challenge for the event organiser would be routing the riding track. Not in terms of the length and number of barricades required but without obstructing the busy Sunday walkers path. Initially was think8ng about routing along the street pass the former ambercromb& fitch and apple(the street is so wide) but people can’t walk into the shops … one way is to do a hairpin loop that ends in front of the current adidas shop! Along the walkway not in front of shop but adjacent to the road. This way no crisscrossing with walkers. You would only need one line of barricades because the other side is the bushes and road.

    • @DiscoveryWalkingToursTV
      @DiscoveryWalkingToursTV  3 роки тому

      I don't really have in depth history knowledge of the area but (based on my understanding) Somerset MRT is named because of the road that is right above it: Somerset Road. It is not a district per say, but when you tell a Singaporean to meet at Somerset, he/she will know what you mean.

    Good morning Discovery Walking from North Carolina (11:02 AM, May 1, 2021). I am so appreciative of the video content you strive to create. Likewise, it gives both Singaporian locals and your global audiences a glimpse into what living in Singapore ( to a certain degree) looks like. Thank you so much. I normally watch your videos from my TV (60" in)...Singapore comes alive on the big screen...I don't say that in arrogance but the videos are great and, (even more vivid) beautiful on a larger screen. However, I paused to post this comment because UA-cam doesn't (for some reason) recognized that I've watched the video if I post via my laptop after watching youtube (my subscriptions) from my TV...I hope I just communicated that well (Lol). Thus, I paused the video from both my TV and laptop to say THANK YOU DISCOVERY WALKING TOURS TV (all caps/not yelling, just thankful to you).
