Singapore Fling

---

It really was a fling: one day to run wild along the streets of Singapore, soaking in all the pleasures and delights the city has to offer.

Not much more I can say at this point, as time is running out on me here. Enjoy the photos for now and hopefully I'll be able to come up with a composition more in keeping with my usual eloquence at a later date.

Police Headquarters
Don't go littering around this part of town especially. Otherwise it's a public caning for you!

Chinatown
Somehow it seems appropriate that the marketplace in Chinatown is called "People's Park."

More Streets of Singapore
We're pretty much in the heart of Chinatown here.

Sunset at Clark Quay
Clark Quay is a trendy spot along the river featuring a number of upscale restaurants, including everybody's favourite family dining establishment, Hooters.

It's Clark Quay again, but a little different shot.

Cruising Singapore River
I took a water taxi from Clark Quay to Merlion Park. No, that's not a spelling mistake. I really went to a place called Merlion Park.

Cruising Singapore River
This is the Fullerton Hotel on the right. It's quite a fancy looking hotel in Singapore and I'm sure one night there would be about the same as one month's worth of my JET money.

More fun shots from the river. The large glass and metal structure on the other side of the bridge is a cultural centre. Its shape was inspired by the smelliest of smelly melons, the durian. I found that fact to be a little odd. Like, why would you pay homage to something that smells like old gym socks?

Merlion Park
The mythical merlion is a symbol and source of pride for all Singapore. Why, exactly, that is, I don't know.

Strange Blue Balls
These blue balls were outside the durian-shaped cultural centre. That's probably all I should say about them.
