Super Singapore Part 1 - Raffles Place and Marina Bay

For four days this week I'll be sharing with you some pictures from my recent trip to Singapore.

Singapore is super.

Modern. Developed. Beautiful. Exciting. Clean. Interesting. Convenient. Civilized. Attractive.

I had a great 18 hours there. The best part was at night where I gazed across Marina Bay at the skyscrapers all lit up, and it was one awesome sight. Hard to explain in words. I'll be documenting that later this week.

Today it's about Raffles Place/Marina Bay. This is one of the most popular tourist hotspots in Singapore featuring the iconic Fullerton Hotel and mega Marina Bay Sands Hotel, amongst others.

Found this chocolate bar at a 7eleven outlet here. Tasted good!

Another nice view


The Fullerton Bay Hotel, one of the many additions to Marina Bay in recent times

Throngs of tourists fill this area to take pictures with the Merlion


The Merlion spits water into Marina Bay


Children like to pose with the small Merlion


Love this view under a bridge slicing Raffles Place and Marina Bay


Couldn't resist this shot at the statue of naked boys jumping into the river!
