Singapore (back at it again)

As most know, I'm out on my next adventure....first off, there's no other way to fly than Singapore Airlines - talk about service. These guys know how to treat passengers right, and the airbuses are really spacious.



Singapore International Airport is friggin huge! There's a mall, food courts, a hotel, a movie theater, bars, a massage parlor, and armed military men walking around with big ass machine guns (I opted not to take a picture of them).



There's a lot of foliage in Singapore, which makes this place really easy on the eyes.



I was told that the government looks at Singapore as a country within a garden. It looked like this everywhere I went.



Singapore has an "Eye of Singapore," which they clearly ripped from my homies in London - c'mon guys - strive to be original.



The skyline here is phenomenal though; I understand this whole "four tigers of the east" deal now.



This place is so clean it's crazy - I started feeling guilty just walking around and leaving footprints behind me.



It's highly impressive how developed this country is. I didn't realize there was such economic momentum here.



Took a stroll through the city, a really safe place. And of course, more trees.



The downtown is particularly impressive. There are literally towers in all directions.......and there's a statue of some random Brit on the right......brilliant!



Jumped on a little boat and started out on a cruise down the river.



Singapore is ultra humid. For a hot minute I thought I was gonna jump in the water, but as you can see by the color, I decided against that.



There's a really cool little "on the river" culture here (kind of reminded me of Amsterdam). All those tents in the distance are little bar/chill areas.



A shot of downtown from the river.



More shots of the river front life - nice place to have a cold brew.



I was drenched from the humidity at this point. Had to step out and have a Foster's, which is clearly the beer of choice in the east.



Shot from across the way of the Government Assembly building.



There was development happening all over the place here; I haven't seen this many cranes since I was in Dublin!



A picture of the MerLion, which is the "mascot" of Singapore. Top half is a lion, bottom half is a mermaid.........I didn't ask.



All in all, Singapore is pretty tight.
