Chinese New Year #2

After spending too much time inside, we had a super big day out and about as tourists in Singapore. Started out with a walk up to the river, and across the historic Cavenagh Bridge (no cattle please):

Caught a lion dance outside the Asia Civilisations Museum:

Walked through Esplanade Park to see the Cenotaph, and the Lim Bo Seng memorial (below), which remembers a World War II anti-Japanese resistance fighter:

Along Esplanade to "the Float", a floating performance platform, currently filled with CNY light displays:

Crappy Tom Cruise picture at a temporary amusement arcade:

Fish head soup anyone?

Went on the Singapore Flyer, a London Eye ripoff:

And then on an open-air tourist bus, driving around the city:

Finishing up at the incredible Marina Bay Sands hotel and shopping complex:

With its in-door canal and gondola rides!
