Having a bike on Sentosa provides quick and easy access to the beaches on the resort side of the island. I had brought my bike over from the states and got a chance to see how easy it makes things to be able to get around so quickly so we headed off to Giant (Singapore's Walmart) to grab Nate a bike. After checking out all the selection we figured it would be best to go with a cheap bike since we only planned to utilize it for the two years. Later we took the bikes out for a spin around the Sentosa beaches and then on Sunday night we biked in to have some dinner on the beach. I was shocked to see how crowded the island was at night time. We at points had to get off the bike and just walk as it was too crowded to try and bike through. We stopped and ate at a bar called Bikini Bar. It is a very interesting atmosphere as you are on a beach that is lined with bars all pumping house music through their speakers and some even throwing out some laser lights. Then the beach which just in the distance is lined with cargo ships. It is definitely a unique experience.

Chinatown
On Sunday the weather looked a bit unpredictable so we skipped our plans to climb Mt. Faber and went to Chinatown. As soon as we stepped out of the MRT it was an absolute downpour. I had neglected to bring an umbrella so we took on the rain. Chinatown is and endless area of shops and although I am sure you can find a great bargain it drives me bonkers that they walk directly behind you the entire time you are in the store. It makes me feel like I am being stalked so I immediately head for the exit. We found one big store area that smelled a bit like fish, even though there was no fish to be found. At the end of the store we were hit with a very unpleasant aroma and just as I was complaining that they would allow the smell to persist without covering it up we walk into a Durian stand. That explained the aroma and although I didn't opt to try some myself I watched as others were consuming it. Let's just say it didn't look very appetizing.
