SG:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Don\u2019t drive ourselves crazy\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-36013\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lifestinymiracles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Car-Free-Sunday136.jpg?resize=698%2C466&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"698\" height=\"466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lifestinymiracles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Car-Free-Sunday136.jpg?w=1140&amp;ssl=1 1140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lifestinymiracles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Car-Free-Sunday136.jpg?resize=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lifestinymiracles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Car-Free-Sunday136.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lifestinymiracles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Car-Free-Sunday136.jpg?resize=1024%2C684&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We all know the pressing need to conserve our environment &#8211; the changes in the weather, global warming and melting ice caps in the polar region are truly causes for concern. What better way to imbue our kids with the right values of saving the Earth than by ditching the family car at least once a month! Nothing speaks louder then role-modelling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Unique experiences and memories<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Car-Free Sunday SG provides many interesting activities and experiences that make for truly unique moments! Imagine the whole family, out and about on foot, on skates or with pedal power and going by some of our country\u2019s iconic buildings and sites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Inter-generational bonding:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Imagine pioneer Singaporeans telling their children or even their grandchildren stories about some of these iconic streets and places. What a great way for the whole family to bond!<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Discovering downtown heritage\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let the books and stories come alive as you go by these streets, buildings and places at a leisurely pace. On selected months, you may even want to join a guided heritage walk to deepen your knowledge and appreciation of Singapore. Get the kids to come along and let history come alive to them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Friendship, Fellowship, Kinship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Make friends with people and Singaporeans from all walks of life. This event actually allows you to meet people from beyond just your estate, township or constituency. Expand your circle of friends, interest group or join a new one and get to know a wider circle of Singaporeans through this national initiative. Cool!<\/p>\n<p>But wait, there\u2019s more:<\/p>\n<p>Apart from these exceptional experiences, members of the public can also get to enjoy some unique dining experiences that are opened for brunch at some of these historic places.&nbsp; During the Car-Free Sunday in January 2017, we had an exceptional brunch at <strong>&#8216;My Awesome Caf\u00e9&#8217;<\/strong> which is located in the same building that used to house Singapore&#8217;s oldest medicinal hall \u2013 the Chung Hwa Free Clinic! The moment we stepped in, we were taken in by the chic, retro, funky ambience which blends the best of old and new, east and west. Such a cool cafe to be in!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-35998\"
