A day in Singapore…the people zoo

Part way along my trip through Asia I spent 3 days in Singapore.  The people zoo!  Its a huge concrete playground but very interesting at the same time.  I took a walk one day with a friend who I met at  My hostel, to Marina Bay, and we took these photos.

China Town

First stop, China Town ! Not like China towns in other Asian cities, but interesting all the same. It’s very organised and not so crazy as China town in Penang, or Kuala Lumpur.

Chinese Lanterns

So many Chinese lanterns

First stop, of course, in the food court where you can get just about any type of Chinese food for 3-4, Singapore dollars.

This strange-looking structure is actually a museum.

We found a free, open air concert at this stage on the waterfront in Marina Bay. The music was amazing, complemented by an insane drummer

The Marina Bay Light Show is one of the most spectacular things I’ve seen in the world.  Lasers and a projection of the story of life onto a screen of spray and mist in front of the shopping centre.  We watched it from the shopping centre at 8.30, then again from the other side of the bay at 9.30 so we could see the laser display from a distance.  Just stunning!  I recommend that anyone visiting Singapore should witness this show.

Each day there’s a light show on the waterfront. They project a movie with music onto a screen of spray in front of the shopping centre.

And from the top of the Marina Sands Building there is an incredible Laser show to compliment the lights show and music
