Singapore #1

China Town was very clean, and the Buddhist Temple was beautiful.


Even in China Town one could see a reference to Singapore's British roots (check the Street name).


We were out strolling around at10am but, as you can see,
the shops don't open early in Singapore. I imagine this would be very busy in the evening when all the shops and eateries remain open late.


Outside the Buddhist Temple, you can see from the ground we'd had rain, it came down in buckets for a short while then it was back to blue skies.


Inside was breath taking, so much gold!
The chanting of the monks was mesmerising.


The Jewel at Changi airport was huge,
but I didn't spend too much time looking at shopping area.


Taken from the second level up.


When you look at the size of the people below,
you realise just how huge this place is.


Looking back from the other side. In case you are wondering about this hole, it's part of the world's largest indoor waterfall which starts seven stories high, unfortunately being there through the day I missed seeing it. (The Rain Vortex is located at the centre of the Jewel Changi compound and is surrounded by the Forest Valley and Jewel Changi Airport restaurants and retail outlets.)


Looking down at the rail transport.


As you can see some of the trees are really huge.


The Walking Net is suspended across a void twenty five metres above ground,
not an easy stroll to forget, it's like walking on air. In the front is the Bouncing Net.
  

Right at the very top of Changi Jewel, there were small restaurants where you could eat and rest for a while . . . and one needed to rest after walking around Changi. I hardly expected to see trees like this on the top floor, and yes, they are real.

  1. Both Temple and the airport amazed me. I had no idea there is a place like Changi.
