| Singapore Visit 20th April 2004 |

The
East Coast Parkway (ECP) takes visitors from Singapore's
Changi International Airport to the city centre. It is
the most incredible entrance to any city. It is tree
lined and immacualtely clean. This is thanks to the tireless
efforts of the foreign workers (and Singaporeans who
are on clean-up duty for littering) who mainatin the
foliage and environment. During the 11 weeks I had been
back in Australia a new bridge had been constructed across
the ECP (see image
015).
At one stage the ECP is perfectly straight and quite wide with planter boxes
down the centre. These can be removed at short notice so that fighter aircraft
can use this strip as an emergency runway. See images 009 and 010 below. There
is a similar road cum airstrip west
of Tengah Airbase near Lim
Chu Kang. Go
to April 11th | 13th | 16th | 17th | 19th | 20th |
I
made the journey along the ECP on Tuesday, 20th April, 2004 at
about 7:15AM before taking Singapore Airlines flight SQ219 back
to Sydney. My workshops had come to an end. Back in July! Yes! |
