    Berlin Wall Remnants

    April 11, 2024 in Singapore ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    I have wanted to visit this Atlas Obscura listed site since I first learned about it several years ago. I resolved to seek it out on this trip. Unfortunately, my first two attempts to visit it were thwarted; the first by lack of time, and the second by lack of nearby parking. For my third attempt, I took public transport.

    Situated in University Village next to the National University of Singapore, these two slabs of the Berlin Wall were gifted to Singapore in 2015. They stand on top of a small hillock, and they are not visible from the footpath at the bottom of the hill. Due to the lack of directional signage and visibility, one would not know the wall relics were there unless they read about it on Atlas Obscura or some other site. I felt sad that such an important piece of world history would stand forlorn and ignored.
