On a way to Langkawi had a stop over in Singapore. Used few hours in Sing to visit Marine Bay Sands.
Found it overwhelming.
Last time I was in Sing was in 2007 and Marine Bay was a construction site I could see from the hotel window. Now it's a splendid imposing complex.
Coming from a country where construction (in general) is slow and where stadium catches fire on its official opening - visiting Marina Bay built (with delay) in about 3 years was impressive.
The lift takes you to the 56th floor in seconds but you do not feel it moves. Seems lift moves so fast a body has no time to register changes in altitude.
I was only on the skydeck as tours for the skypark (1 hectar of park with real palms and famous swimming pool) were fully booked. But I could take a peek of the amazing swimming pool.
If I'll go to Sing again - I hope I will find some good discounts on the web for the Marina hotel so I can stay in it and enjoy Sing's skyline from the pool.
Standing on the deck and enjoying the twlight over Sing I felt how much is happening in Asia and how fast things move.
It was so exciting to stand at the top of a great building and enjoy a spectacular view of men-made landscape. Snapshots at:
