A one-day stop-over in Singapore on the way home

If you ever get the chance to spend a little time in Singapore- take advantage of the opportunity!!!
Courtyard outside my room. 
A quick taxi ride to get to the Arts District and then a lovely - warm n humid - walk about
Galleries are housed in these amazing buildings!
What a great way to use older buildings, in a way that everyone can see them and enjoy them!
Architecture is a true competition here. 
National Gallery - can hardly wait!
The keynote exhibit at the time
Go big, go bright or don't bother...I think that was her motto. 
In the Wish Room - I wrote Cyan, Kayla, Greyson and Quinten on my wish ribbon and tied it onto the web
One small corner of the Wish Room 
A quick nosh at the Gallery - and it was amazing! Red and Golden Beets with radish, hazelnut crumble, goat cheese and balsamic reduction!!!
The Performing Arts Complex
Along the waterfront
Long view of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel and the Science Centre
The crazy wild bridge that you get to walk on and enjoy as you go 
Marina Bay Sands with the observation deck at the top. I was up there last time in Singapore, so decided to visit the shopping gallery instead. 
Closer shot of the Science Centre - that is a full sized event tent in the lower left - to give you a sense of scale. 
Marina Bay Sands shopping mall - well about a 10th of it - huge and on three levels! 
A cool liquor and novelty shop - the Boston Terrier walking stick was only about $850!
And you can't be in Singapore and not have a traditional Chicken and Rice with 3 Sauces lunch!
Singapore's Big Eye
This is what all airports should look like- truly one of the lovely airports in the world.
