Where New Zealand was all about the beautiful vistas, Singapore is spectacular for its architecture. After traveling for 10.5 hours by plane we arrived in Singapore at almost 5 pm (10 pm in NZ), and were immediately drawn out into the evening streets.
One of our first encounters was a street Zumba class.
As night fell, the buildings began adding lights. The Fullerton Hotel goes from just beautiful
To adding a 5 minute long video light showing featuring flora and fauna of Singapore.
The famous Merlion lights up.
And most spectacular of all, the Marina Bay Sands does both a light and water show.
The next 2 days we roamed the city taking in sites including Indian temples in Little India:
And a mosque:
and temples in Chinatown:
Singapore is truly one of the most culturally, ethnically, and religiously diverse countries I have ever visited, which also made for great eating! The street food is amazing!
At night, more water and light shows, Christmas themed.
Another aspect of the city I loved is the street art.
And then it was time to move on to Thailand to meet the kids for Christmas!!!!
