The next stop in my two week vacation in South East Asia was Singapore. I had heard a lot about Singapore from when I was a kid but the most exciting feature of the country that I was looking forward to see had just been added to the beautiful city just a year or so ago :)
From Kuala Lumpur, we were driven to Singapore along a scenic route. The long drive was simply beautiful and driving at top speed was an experience I wont forget in a hurry.
As we entered the city, it was clearly evident that everyone was celebrating the Chinese new year. Red was all over the place.
Our next stop was a artistic Chinese Temple. I am a huge fan of Chinese architecture… Totally love their fascination for dragons and the color red :)
Last year Singapore hosted the first ever night race in Formula One. If that wasnt good enough, it was the race that turned the fortunes of my favorite Driver on the grid. As we drove through the city we went past the pits and parts of the circuit used in the race. This was the closest I have been ever near my favorite sport and it felt great :)
The next stop was near the Singapore bay. Surrounded by symbols of the great city left me in a dilemma on where to point my camera next :)
The next program on our schedule was a boat ride near the Singapore Bay. One thing that stuck me was the number of bridges and their designs.
As the night approached the buildings around the bay area lit up. The photos dont do justice to the sight that met our eyes…
