While it was undoubtedly difficult to get to the park via public transport (one writer got lost on the way from the MRT), our trip to Pasir Ris Park can be summed up in a sentence: worth the walk. 

The rest of us began to venture into the park while waiting. We were certainly not alone, having been  accompanied by bird watchers and other park explorers. The park turned out to be an excellent place for bird spotting (for those with eagle eyes), among other things.

This is Part 1 of our coverage on Press’ 2022 learning journey. You can access Part 2 here.
