Lay of the land

Dad and I are just touring around getting the lay of the land.
This is the walk way across the roof of one of the buildings which is host to the School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering - this building has 6 levels below it all for Mech. Engg. Nutso. We toured a robotics lab on our own accord and got some funny looks from a few grad students.
This is the School for Computer Engg. The School for Mechanical Engg. is an identical twin to this building and is right beside it.
The other wing of the Mech. and Aero. Engg. building.
This is the Joo Chiat Gospel hall (two upper floors, ground floor, and basement). It is owned by the Chinese Assembly (about 50 in fellowship) who shares it with the English assembly (about 80 in fellowship).

There are 18,600+ people per square mile here in Singapore - compare this to 9 people per square mile in Canada! So yes, the place is packed. This is the neighborhood just outside Peter and Chi Mei's condo - nice and very safe (besides traffic).

  1. Hey al! Looks like quite a place! I love the pics chi mei sent me that you took from the ferris wheel thing! You try to get on top of that building that looks like it has a boat on top of it yet? What does the chemistry engineer building look like? You know we are building a new refinery over there right now, you should see if you can find it. All for now, bro scott

  2. Yeah, that building is a hotel/casino - I got pictures on my next post. The chemistry engineer building includes the biomedical engineer; I'll get a picture of it next time I get to the Uni. I can't find the refinery on google - we're gonna need an address from the inside source.
