Pulau Ubin

While I was in Singapore I decided to make a day trip to Pulau Ubin (Ubin Island), which lies off the northeast coast of Singapore's main island. After a half hour subway ride, and then another half hour on a bus, you end up at the little "ferry terminal", which is basically just a couple of docks with some small boats called bumboats (I don't know why they call them that).
After waiting about half an hour for enough customers to fill the boat, we made the trip across in a torrential downpour. Although this wasn't a good sign, when we got across I went and found a place where I could rent a bike for the day for about $5.
Because it was raining so hard, the guy who owned the bike shop let me borrow this pretty pink poncho. Fortunately the rain stopped within an hour, so I was able to regain some of my dignity.
Before going to the island, I'd read that there were some hornbills on the island called Oriental Pied Hornbills, though I never expected to see any. However, after biking for about an hour, I came across a whole group of them just hanging out feeding. There must have been about 15 to 20 of them in the flock. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating, so the shots didn't turn out very well.
Here's a little butterfly I came across. I also saw (and heard) some wild pigs which I've never come across before, but I only managed to get off one shot, and it didn't turn out.
