Walked on the boardwalk through the Forrest at MacRitchie Reservoir With a friend two years ago. We felt like we were walking through string or like strings were passing us is the best way to describe it... Is this place dangerous?!? I don’t believe in spirits so there must be some explanation?!? Hope I’ve not been possessed lol....

Hi. You probably had walked through a few lines of web spun by a spider. The MacRitchie Reservoir boardwalk is generally safe but you need to look where you walk. Like watching out for monitor lizards and snakes although these critters will generally move away when you approach them. Monkeys can be a nuisance and visitors are well advised not to feed them, as they will grab your food or bags containing food.

I didn't see anywhere... Can you back up a bit? Will you be checking out of a hotel / hostel prior to MacRitchie? That would be the safest, easiest place, I'd think. Or getting off a cruise ship? Surely after paying for your cruise, the company could hold your stuff for the day.
Hi, I would be visiting Singapore in August 2018 with my parents. My mother has knee problem for which she cannot walk too long. Is this park good for people like my mom, who can sit and enjoy the tranquility of the park?
A:
Not really - whilst flat - its not the easiest place to get to from hotel areas of Singapore. Would recommend the botanical gardens and orchid gardens within.
