Day 3 in Singapore - The Colonial District and Orchard Road
Today has been my best day yet in Singapore. The Colonial District was by far the most impressive area I have seen yet (although I have heard that both Chinatown and Little India are remarkably different on the weekend). There was an incredible mixture of the remainders of British rule mixed with the Jetson-like skyscrapers, which make up the impressive Singapore skyline. I started my day along the Singapore River and weaved through the shops and cafes until I reached what must be the business district. From there I went along the piers and through some beautiful parks.
At Raffles Landing, where "Raffles" (I assume) is looking rather pensive. I need to brush up on my Singaporean history (a.k.a. take the time to read those pesky information plaques scattered throughout the city...).
The Merlion Statue with the Clifford Centre in the background...
The Merlion statue from an opposite view.... over looking the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay.
The Fullerton Hotel in the heart of the Colonial District...
The Singaporean Nuclear Family hanging out in Boat Quay...
