What was once an area of town so seedy they had to raze it to the ground just to erase the memory of it, is slowly making it's way back up top... but for better reasons than transvestite hookers... Think reports.

Every so often, for no apparent reason whatsoever, I get the urge to step out of a nice, cool, air conditioned environment and become what can only be described as a 'sweaty mess'. Last week, I managed to do this with a visit to the Bukit Timah Nature reserve.

Think finds that the hustle and bustle along with the fast pace of life that we lead in an urban cosmopolitan environment has its charms.

Every day the wrecking ball does in an old part of Singapore, and another shiny new mall/ entertainment complex/apartment building goes up.
