Instead of a Bench I found this Graffiti Under A Singapore Bridge
Graffiti is not allowed in Singapore. A Singaporean visiting Berlin would get a shock freeze. Still here and there I discovered some places with nicely and orderly sprayed walls. The comparably new park in Upper Bukit Timah has quite a charming resting place before you enter the real deal.

Who is sitting on this bench? If you do not want to sit alone, join this guy.
It is a while ago that I got inspired to write about a bench. Anyway at the first glance a bench is not really an object you might want to write about. Even the spirit of the other contributors of the “Bench Mark” has died down. They might have lost the purpose why to shoot…

“Banken” and Benches in Holland Village
The English speaking Germans might get the word-play almost immediately. “Bank” or plural “Banken” is the German word for bench or benches. But the word “Bank” has 2 meanings in the German language. It could be the bank where you go to deposit your savings or it could be the bench, where you try to…

How a simple bench can provide a great view.
Singapore is known for solid and formidable benches. There might be a bit of a concern about the locations and number of benches in certain places, but you can trust me there are a lot of nice benches around the island. Some of those great benches are placed, I hope not consciously, right in the…

Why do benches always look new in Singapore?
I haven’t been in the Botanical Garden for quite a while. Only recently while cycling along the hidden tracks of Singapore, I reached the ever beautiful Botanical Garden of Singapore. Definitely a must for any visitor. I was looking for a bench to rest and recover from cycling in the heat in the middle of…

A red hot gem “Looking Good”
The Hortpark in Singapore feels great with benches all around. Parents can sit down and chat while their children are playing. Today a solid, good looking red bench reaches my eyes. It was made of steel and painted in a red color. This fit well to the green surrounding. The bench was not placed in…

Facing black and white
This two benches are facing each other but are not able to talk. I would not want to mention, that one of them looks a bit female, the other rather male. Yes I know you might call it a bit strange, but you even might guess, which of the 2 is the man. What a…

Grand View from a Bench
It was a hot day in Singapore. I mean unreasonably hot. Otherwise I could not imagine, why this solid and ergonomically correct bench was not occupied. Really hard to understand, that nobody sat on this bench, as the views in all directions are urbanicular. Urbanicular is a new word and means “a spectacular urban view”.…

The Bench in front of Paddy Hills
I liked the look and charm of this bench in front of a new restaurant in Pasir Panjang. Restaurants are not the strength of Pasir Panjang, good once are rather rare. Pasir Panjang is a suburb of Singapore and usually spoilt for choices when you are looking for life in a park. But this little…

What a pitty – Those 2 benches are looking in the wrong direction
Almost every Sunday morning I am having a ride with my bike to the almost quaint West Coast Park in Singapore. Almost quaint, because for a certain stretch the park is sandwiched between the Pasir Panjang Harbour and the West Coast Highway. So expect a little noise from both, as big lorries are moving around…

Singapore Park – Bench House
Singapore is famous for cleanliness. This is something one can experience everywhere and of course in the parks of Singapore as well. Singapore’s parks are neat, clean and convenient. I imagine such kind of parks in Munich or any other European metropolis and they had to put a fence around it and charge an entrance…

Three Little Sisters
It is a pitty that those 3 little benches are a bit to small and sitting on them can be a bit painfull for the elderly. For kids they arenthe ideal place to rest for a while. The three little sisters can be found in Singapore in the West Coast Park. West Coast Park is…

Lady in White
Despite her beauty and elegance and despite passing by a lot of times, I had not developed a desire for the beauty o this bench. It could be that the location is the culprit. The bench is located before you reach the entrance of Hort Park. A little park unnoticed by tourists visiting Singapore. Then…
