Part 6 - Along The Way
Pulau Ubin
East, Singapore
May 2010
Along the way, there were lots of heartwarming and interesting sights. While waiting for the tides to recede, we had time to admire Ubin's flora and fauna...
A bunch of bananas grows alongside a coconut leaf...
A touch of beauty along the beach as I waited with the workers...
A grasshopper chomps on its breakfast...
A tiny wild boar streaks past our path. Note the stripes on its back...
The workers were mainly from Bangladesh. Their way of life was simple - Start work early in the morning, relaxed pace along the day, and a brief siesta and a timely lunch at noon.
No work was too hard or dirty for them. They cleaned the debris, braved the mosquitoes, and worked in the hot sun without complaint.
A positive working attitude despite the difficult conditions...
