River Rafting in Davao, Philippines
Who would have thought this braze sport has been around for over 30 years? Only crazy thrill seekers need apply to river rafting where you are spun in an inflatable raft as you try to navigate a river. When we were in Yosemite, they closed it off during the summer when the waters raging through because of melting ice. This one is in Davao, Philippines where as you can see, the water is not as rough but for those prone to heart attacks, still not recommended.

Can Tiger win Bethpage 2009?
From the looks of worry and the many many many putts that have not been going in, Tiger won’t be anywhere on the leaderboard to be a threat at Bethpage this year. We still love him anyway.

Bottle Tree in Singapore
Who would have thought that such a place existed in Singapore (Yishun)? Actually, there are quite a number of theme parks here but this one is right next to the MRT which is unusual (see picture below and spot the tracks in the background). The activities are also unusual, from prawn fishing and car racing (only the remote control kind) to paint ball.
We had dinner here and the food was good and prices were reasonable although do expect to shell out $15-30 per pax if you are coming for a half/whole day of fun with the family. Service is not that great because the place is huge and they are understaffed so don’t be afraid to wave that menu to attract attention.
Here’s the weirdest thing- they’ve got that huge sign with their URL on it, right? But if you go, it’s classified by Google (and Safari browser) as a suspected phishing site. I didn’t go in … enter at your own risk.
