So I'm planning a cycling trip across the Benjamin Sheares Bridge – heard the views are insane. But I'm worried about the wind. Is it really as brutal as people say, especially on a bike? I’ve seen… more

Yeah, the wind on the Benjamin Sheares Bridge can be a real beast. Those videos aren't exaggerating. It's definitely something to consider, especially if you're not used to strong headwinds. I'd recommend checking the weather forecast really closely before you go – even a slight breeze can feel intense up there. Maybe pick a day with minimal wind predicted? Or, if you're determined, go with a friend for safety and moral support! It's a pretty stunning view, though, so it might be worth the struggle.

That's a pretty creepy detail about the banyan tree in Sanny Park! Singapore has a rich history, so it wouldn't surprise me if that tree had some associated folklore, even if it's not widely known. Maybe try posting on some local Singaporean forums or Facebook groups? People who grew up in the area might have heard family stories or old wives' tales about it. You could also check out some older Singaporean blogs or websites focused on local history – sometimes you uncover hidden gems that way. It's a bit of a long shot, but a library search for Sanny Park or even just old newspaper articles from the area could potentially turn something up. Good luck with your mystery investigation!
