Singapore!

Exotic, beautiful, sultry, rich, 17 hours away via nonstop air, a shopper’s paradise, foodie heaven, and an unending stream of photo ops:   Singapore is all this and more.  I love this place.  I’ve been here six or seven times, and I’ll keep coming back.   I’ll let the photos do most of the talking this time.  I shoot better than I write!

Clark Quay (it’s pronounced key).
A typical scene along the river. All the brightly-colored buildings on the left are restaurants.

Amazing architecture along the bay. These three buildings include shopping, a hotel, a casino, and more. The upper deck is styled like a ship; the concept is that the buildings are the waves. All of this is built on reclaimed land. Singapore is a small nation; when they need more land, they create it in the ocean!

And there you have it.  Fun times.  Another secret mission in the bag.

  2. Was in Singapore in 1980 courtesy of Uncle Sam. My bride and I stayed in the Raffles Hotel and had a pet cockroach who lived in a crack in the wall under the sink. Had the spiciest curry I have ever eaten there. Also went shopping in a 5-level below ground shopping mall. A very interesting place.
