Singapore (Part 1)
Since a couple of years I was thinking visiting Singapore. Why? I don’t have a clear answer, I was attracted by it - that’s it. So....
Republic of Singapore
Location: an island and islets in the heart of Southeast Asia, between Malaysia and Indonesia
Area: 710.3 km² (Comparison: Kanton Zurich - 1729 km², Montreal Island - 499 km²)
Population: 5,076,700 (Statistics Singapore, 2010)
Ethnic groups: Chinese 74.1%, Malay 13.4%, Indian 9.2%, Other races 3.3%
Language: Malay, Mandarin, Tamil and English are the 4 official languages in Singapore.
My short and very precise impression from Singapore I can put in three words: modern, clean and very green city.
Beginning of the trip
It was our aircraft - exactly this one, the name is "München" (the photo is not mine :-) )
The camera view from one installed in the tail of the aircraft
And finally after 12 hour flight we came in Singapore
Symbol of Singapore - Merlion
Modern city
and very green
Metro
Another metro station
The fines level in Singapore's metro (1 USD = 1.3 SGD)
and in the underpasses
Singapore River
Very impressive hotel Marina Bay Sands, 191 meters high, with 146 meters long swimming pool on the top of it
Some funny stuff inside of the shopping centre by Marina Bay Sands
Swimming pool
View on the Singapore from the top of Marina Bay Sands
Now, see Part 2 :-)
