An Unexpected Surprise

Last week I went on a tour of an area called Fort Canning Park. It started in the evening and was supposed to be a night tour of this really big hill in Singapore. On the hill is where 5 ancient kings used to live (supposedly), and it is also where Raffles, the British founder of Singapore) built his house.
The group was walking around the hill, minding our own "historical" business, when low and behold, we stumbled upon a concert. This wasn't just any concert either, mind you, but a heavy metal concert. Children of Bodom were playing, a Finnish group, and there was a large crowd of locals (dressed in black) to watch.
My group didn't actually go into the concert or anything (it was an outdoor concert at the very top of the hill), but later, when we climbed up the gates of the old Fort Canning, we could see them playing.
This just goes to show that you never know what to expect from Singapore!
