City of the Lion

Eventually I made it alive to my final destination, the city of the Lion.
As you surely already guessed right that I was talking about Singapore. Well done!

This is gonna be a very brief post so no worries.

First of all I again had troubles with my damn arm and since I have an insurance I decided to go to the doctor to make sure I'm not gonna lose my arm. So being there the service is really professional!
But then the shock: more than 100$?! Like seriously? But hey: Love you, insurance!

But now:
Just telling that this city is incredible!
There are districts of heaps of Asian cultures.
For instance there is a Little India, Chinatown, Malay district,...

Street decoration in the Malay district

A mosque in the Malay district...

A Hindu temple in Little India

They all offer you the highlights of their cuisines and I tried them all!

Also worth a visit is the colonial district to see the old colonial buildings from which the British used to rule the city.

However the highlight of your Singapore visit is gonna be the Marina Bay.
It's probably the most beautiful skyline I have seen so far.
Lots of modern glass skyscrapers, the magnificent Marina Bay Sands Hotel and the bay itself form a stunning view and I can't spend enough time just sitting at the bay and enjoying that view.
Great to see the sunset there as well though...

Marina Bay, the heart of the city...country...whatever...

Just infront oft the Hotel is a collosal mall.
3 stories and so big they created an artificial canal in the mall to get around by boat!

Another highlight are the super trees in the Garden by the Bay.
Especially beautiful at night when they glow in different colours and during the light and sound show which occurs twice a night.

All in all a very futuristic and unbelievably clean metropolis!
Sad to leave now but happy to see my family and friends again soon!
