Marina Bay is the pretty bay area in the "city" of Singapore (not the burbs where we live). We went for a wander around from dusk to check out some of the beautiful night lights of Singapore, and we certainly weren't disappointed.
This is Marina Bay Sands, a truly huge hotel that has an infinity pool up the top there. One day, I want to go to that infinity pool. The hotel looks large-ish in this photo (and in all the photos of it I've seen), but up close it's astoundingly large. The hotel is from about $400-1650 SGD per night for a "non-event" Friday night... totally booked out for Grand Prix time, so I sadly can't check the ridiculous prices. Also a little picture of the other direction over the bay with pretty sparkly lights.
We got some satay skewers from Makansutra Glutton's Bay Hawker Centre, then headed over the Helix bridge to the big shopping centre in Marina Bay, and around to the Gardens by the Bay, behind the giant cricket stumps.
This was just a first, quick visit to the Gardens by the Bay, but once we saw the supertrees lit up at night, we couldn't avoid going to see them up close. There was also a "Songs of Singapore" concert on, so we got to hear some... lovely Hokkien pop songs while we waited for the light and sound display.
I took some videos of the light and music disply, but I'm not going to post it, because we decided that this place is going on the roster of places we are going to bring our friends and family to. So in the interests of not spoiling it, I'll wait until you're all here to show you.
Singapore lights are really, really pretty... ridiculously extravagant but well done. Got that rush of excitement and happy vibe that made me feel a bit at home in Singapore with this little excursion.
