Saturday Night Walk

Rohaizad and I hopped on the MRT yesterday evening. We got off at the Chinatown stop and walked home.

After we escaped the Chinatown pre-New Year shopping crowd, we meandered down to the Singapore River.

Here is the Merlion - Singapore's "mascot." He's half lion and half fish. Gotta feel sorry for the thing, during his transformation he lost his front claws, so he's a pretty helpless lion. Plus, the water must make his mane pretty rank. Even Starbucks seems to make him vomit.

Here is a view of the Esplanade Arts Center from across the Singapore River. Can you believe that ALL the buildings you see in this photo are built on reclaimed land? It's TRUE!

During the colonial days, this building was the post office. Now it's the Fullerton Hotel.

This is the Court House. But wait, is that a UFO landing on the roof? Yes, it is! Oh my stars!!!
