 ==Locations to Avoid==
 ===Changi Coast Road===
-This is one area regularly patrolled by the police as it is illegal to photograph airport buildings and serious action would be taken if one is caught photographing at this location especially with a D-SLR, it is also illegal to park one's car at the emergency entrances (which are the only places without double fencing) and it requires either a car or a bicycle to get there as it is a good 5km to the nearest bus stop and taxis don't usually pick-up passengers from the Coast Road. There is a park connector which is separated from the perimeter fence by the Changi Coast Road with occasional shelters along the path. You can see the planes take off and land but due to the double security fence the view is not very clear. Thus it is not advisable to hang around this area for more than 30 minutes. My advice is for you NOT TO SPOT HERE unless you are familiar with this area.
+The perimeter fence along this area is double-fenced, preventing a clear view of the airport. Only the emergency gates have a single fencing. From here, you have a side-on view of runway 20C/02C operations, the entire Terminal 2 and gates D40 to D49 of Terminal 1. Note that photography of airport buildings is illegal and action can be taken especially if you are using a dSLR. Parking in front of the emergency gates is also prohibited. This area is regularly patrolled by police both within and outside the airport, who will not hesitate to stop and request you to leave.
+The location requires either a car or a bicycle to get there as it is a good 5km to the nearest bus stop and taxis don't usually pick-up passengers from the Coast Road. There is a park connector which is separated from the perimeter fence by the Changi Coast Road with occasional shelters along the path. This park connector offers you a view of the airport as well, but obstructed by the double fencing. Unless you are familiar with the area or are with someone who is, do not stay here for too long. You are also advised to comply fully with any police instructions if you encounter police as they can, and will, take action against those who fail to do so.
