Singapore Day One

It was a long flight:  11.5 hours to Tokyo and 6.5 hours to Singapore.   We followed Margie's plan of staying up till 3:30 am and sleeping till 10:30 and then going about our day. Lunch at a vegetarian restaurant in Little India-Margie lives there anyway.  Here street is so cool.  The view from her window is so cool.  Old buildings and new ones behind.   

  Love the roof tiles  - so irregular.

 Ok, so back to day one. We took a taxi to Little India and had lunch.  Then we headed to Esplanade shopping center for massages-Margie' treat.   Very cool rooms.  They give you hair nets and these "very attractive" mesh panties to put on. The shape reminds me of those old diaper covers I used to put on the kids.  The message was wonderful and got the circulation going so our feet would unswell from the flight.  The we headed up to the roof for view. 

You can get drinks from the top of this building - Marina Bay Sands. We will do this before we leave.  

Many  more beautiful views-it is a big modern city.

These buildings below are part of the Esplanade.  Built to resemble the durian fruit.  

There is tons of building going on.  Cranes are everywhere.  Singha means lion and there are lions represented everywhere.  Here is one on the harbor.

We then took another taxi to The Civic District-where old Singapore began-it's the seat of the old colonial government and the Asian Civilizations Museum is there-to be visited after Bali.  This is the old river front-so beautiful at twilight.  We had wine and appetizers on the River front at Siem Reap-another  twilight treat.

The day finished off with a full moon-so lovely.

More later...
