Don't be taken in by his welcome grin

Sometime last year, if I remember correctly, the Jurong Reptile Park renamed itself the Jurong Crocodile and Reptile Paradise. This seemed to me ominous, as places only add words like `Paradise' to their names when it is not fitting, and so I'd never been. But we were looking for something to do, and it was a bus, MRT, and bus ride away, so we tried taking it in.

( There's considerable talk inside about the Jurong Crocodile and Reptile Paradise, and the Jurong Bird Park, inside. Things get a bit weird even before the strangest cover of ``You Are My Sunshine'' I've ever heard. )
