I spent about a month in Singapore on business back in 2005.  Coming back 7 years later it seems the whole downtown part of the city is new.  Sparkling new buildings, manicured new public spaces, new bridges, but the same old humidity.  I haven’t felt humidity like this since I left Texas!!  Singapore is beginning to interest me significantly. There are definitely aspects of British colonial history. In some parts like little India, you can see the history of 100 years ago. The downtown core and Santosa Island, for that matter, are new and updated. They are worthy of any world-class city.

You will likely see a bunch of travel blogs focused on finding the cheapest place to stay. They are usually about hostels.  However, since the majority of my travel is business travel, I tend to stay at newer, nicer places.  Today’s photo is of the new Marina Bay Sands hotel in Singapore, just at dusk.  I had worked a good portion of the day. Then I went back to the hotel to grab my camera. I walked around and grabbed dinner before my midnight flight to London.  I had a little time to kill, so I ended up at the Marina.  This was the view across the water.  My only regret was that I didn’t have my tripod to make this more crisp.
