This is the Singapore Flyer. It is a 165m tall ferris-wheel-type thing that gives one a half-hour ride. From it you can see most of the city. Some booths are just for observation and some are restaurants. Here we are at the apex of the wheel.
Off to the most expensive area in Singapore. Where the financial giants of the world gather. Where every major world bank has its headquarters. Where it costs $30 for two single hamburgers, and $30 for a plain pair of socks. Where most hotels round to about $1K per night...
Where arab teens hang out outside these hotels and lean against their lambos and ferraris.
This is one of those hotels (and casinos), it is the Marina Bay Sands hotel. It seems to have a massive boat on top of it.
Can you guess the shape of this bridge?
It is the coding of life. Deoxyribonucleic acid double helix. The bridge shape is a double helix - made of stainless steel.
All ships going from Europe to Asia must pass through Singapore's waters; therefore, since early times, Singapore was a popular trading area. Singapore has one of the five busiest ports in the world. At any time, there are over 800 ships waiting to enter the harbor.
The tall buildings on the upper right are the core downtown - where all the banks are headquartered. The white building on the lower right that looks like part of a blooming onion is going to be a museum. The large building next to it is the most expensive shopping mall I've ever been in - I thought Herrod's in London was pricey.

Most stores have guards standing outside of them and keep the doors and windows closed.
Louis Vuitton, BVLGARI, Cartier, Prada, Rolex, Armani, Ferrari, Fendi, Gucci, Escada, Charlotte Ehinger-Schwartz, etc. to name a few.
This is an unfinished project. It will be the home to the Singapore Botanical Gardens. I haven't quite figured out the architecture yet, but seeing it from the top view looks as if they are trying to imitate a sea shell shape.
