The Best Tourist Attractions in Bukit Merah

The NUS Baba House is a fascinating place to visit especially if one is interested in the history of the Straits Chinese community. There are one hour slots, four times a week, which need to be booked in advance. Tours start and end precisely on time. Photography is not allowed inside and shoes need to be removed upstairs. And of course, it's always recommended to be mindful of one's surroundings, especially with valuable artifacts around. Our guide was excellent in his knowledge, delivery and responses to specific questions. To be fair, the time was short, but he managed to include architectural, historical, social and familial aspects to his narrative.

Might have more wider expositions. Now just random bits of newspapers and old tools. Still a good idea to develop.

I took the MRT to Harbor Front to get to the cable car terminal. It was difficult to find the terminal because of the huge, multistory mall between the MRT and the cable car terminal. I had a voucher which had to be converted into a ticket which seemed complicated but was finally achieved. Once this was accomplished I was able to ride the whole line. It was a treat to be so high in the sky in a quiet, air conditioned, modern car. Much of Singapore could be viewed from the long ride. You arrive to a T on the island and then the ticket is good for both ways and return. This is a worthwhile goodie to do on a clear day.
