| Who put the battleship on top of the Hotel/Office complex? |
 |
| Called the "Hand" with good reason, houses an Art Gallery/Museum. |
 |
| So far every country has their interpretation of the Sky needle for you bungee jumpers and the Singapore rendition of the Texas State Fair Ferris Wheel or if you have been to the Pier in Chicago, this one takes approximately 32 minutes to make a full revolution. I'm nauseous just thinking about it. I was persuaded to board the one in Chicago and my mates lived to regret it. He He. Barf |

| This is the Singapore Marina where the City Council continues the mantra of build it they will come. Apparently with the Art sculptures, Art galleries, Museums, Convention Center, Cafes, Outdoor entertainment venue, and the list continues they still have ongoing plans to increase the draw for both local Singaporeans and tourists. It is a people watchers heaven. There just wasn't a sole...OK a couple of soles at any of the entertainment complexes the day I did my walk about. I felt very alone, but totally entertained. |

| Can we talk about the Temple's? There is no lacking of Temples. Some with the cow's in the ledges are Hindu, but there are Buddhist, Chinese, Japanese, and all other religious offerings. There are more visitors to the temples than the other tourist sites. The smells of burning incense is at times nauseating to the unaccustomed. There are alot of food scents and the fish markets are well....hold your breath. OVERWHELMING |
 |
| OK all you religious fanatics...The "Mayor of Singapore" my new friend Ben took me here at the wee hour of 2:15am on a Wednesday night to a lower level almost catacomb location to are you ready for this....a Philippine front band playing American rock and roll tunes to a mosh pit of mostly European tourists. The church actaully holds services on the property but also leases out the additional space. Bizarre! |
 |
| Singapore Parliment, heavily guarded entrance. The skyline in the back ground. |
 |
| No two buildings are the same and none are the typical US, maximize square footage, plain glass square boxes. |
 |
| Hindu temple as the cow's on the ledge suggest. |
Beyond every crack between the sky scrapers/buildings there are more incredible views of more incredible architecture. Here is a taste.
