Singapore part 3


So that evening, we both escape the hotel and make a dash down town to the Singapore Flyer.

It's 42 storey's high... thats big.

From wikipedia... 

"the Flyer comprises a 150 m (492 ft) diameter wheel, built over a three-story terminal building, giving it a total height of 165 m (541 ft). This exceeds the Star of Nanchang by 5 m (16 ft) and the London Eye by 30 m (98 ft). Each of the 28 air-conditioned capsules is capable of holding 28 passengers, and a complete rotation of the wheel takes approximately 30 minutes. Initially rotating in an counter-clockwise direction when viewed from Marina Centre, its direction was changed on 4 August 2008 under the advice ofFeng shui masters[3]. Located on the southeast tip of the Marina Centre reclaimed land, it offers broad views of the city centre and beyond to about 45 km (28 mi), including the Indonesian islands of Batam and Bintan, as well as Johor, Malaysia."


Here's an abstract... I'm just doing a composite of the harbour and bay for you too.

Singapore part 2


So the first day I'm by myself as the lad had a meeting.  So I wandered around trying to find old Singapore in 38C temp, 150% humidity.... did ok, it was VERY hot and sticky.  Walked from one end of Orchard Road to the other.

I did come across a few things of interest... more abstract that anything.


so Singapore part 1


So a quick weekend break in Singapore, ok a long weekend.  A very funky break in somewhere warm and lucious... oh with great shopping.

First stop the hotel.  A very fine place... the Shangrila. 

Now we pull up and what do we spy... three Lamborgini's and a Ferrai!

OK, its a boy thing, but you gotta admit its very impressive.
