The Asian backpacker's favourite hangout. We in Singapore live in a land of sheltered walkways. As long as we stay within the path, there is little risk of getting burnt by the scorching sun and getting wet from the unpredictable rains. But while I appreciate some shelter from the harsh elements, protection does become stifling when our movements are all determined by the layout of the sheltered pathways. Regardless of whether there is a sheltered or beaten path to Shangrila, Knapsack will find a way there.
Shelter is good when it's cold and wet.
We don't need it when it blocks our view of the beautiful sky.
