Singapore is an island so just travel for about 30 minutes and you’ll end up seeing the sea at some point. I am so used to having the sea nearby that when i recently went abroad for work at a location where there are no main rivers or seaside nearby i felt a little uncomfortable. Growing in Singapore, you will have many fond memories of swimming and playing along the sandy beaches of East Coast Park, Changi and Sentosa and the interesting thing is that you will get to see cargo vesels and ships like these at a distance. I know that it means the waterways are not that clean with all that sea traffic passing by but still being by the sea can be rather comforting.

Would you jump into the water to save a life? Recently someone risked his life to rescue a lady from the Singapore River. Its a heroic attempt and I felt that he deserved the award and a reimbursement of the medical fees for the cuts and bruises he received.
