ROUTE

This is an NUS-centric route, taking us through various places in NUS, like Frontier, MPSH, YIH, UTown, Museum, Computing, and then out to West Coast Park.

REFRESHMENTS

We ate dinner at the McDonald's at West Coast Park. You can also have food at NUS, or at the food court at UTown.

EXPERIENCE

I didn't originally plan to go into the NUS museum (the free one, not the dinosaur one), but we did and the guide there was very friendly, gave us a history lesson on pottery styles in China. Quite a nice place actually. Very peaceful, and we spent maybe an hour there? West Coast Park was trash though. Most of the time, we can only see shipping containers. Good number of trees and foliage, but massive points are taken off because of the shipping containers. No coastline until the very end, where we didn't even get a good view of the sea. The McDonald's was the only good part of it.

TIPS

You can try going for the NUS museum, or even the one with the dinosaurs. But other than that, I wouldn't recommend going to West Coast Park. It's not worth it.
