TRAVEL WATCH
Upcoming
Singapore salute If you never thought of Singapore as
a military power, perhaps you should check out the city-state's National
Day parade on Aug. 9, which kicks off a four-day carnival. The highlight
is a flypast by the Singapore Air Force's Black Knights aerobatics team
and a parachuting demonstration by commandos. The parade begins at 6 p.m.,
and the best spot for viewing—after tickets are sold out—is
from the Western Stamford Hotel near City Hall.
Eco-torture The 12-day tour-de-pain known as the Borneo Eco-Challenge
2000 gets under way on Aug. 21. While not exactly a spectator sport, the
race is memorable for the physical and mental anguish apparent on the
competitors' faces. Teams of brave (or mad) athletes will slog through
the jungle, take on roiling whitewater in traditional canoes, descend
steep canyons, ride mountain bikes on centuries-old headhunting trails,
spelunk into deep caves, paddle outriggers and dive into the South China
Sea. Visit www.ecochallenge.com/ borneo/borneo.htm for more info.
