Singapore

We spent a few days in Singapore - checking out the sights.   Chuck's friend Jackson met us at the airport and showed us around the town.  The weather was a bit cool and rainy - it felt like Vancouver!  There were Christmas trees and Christmas lights everywhere. We spent some time shopping, seeing the movie "The Hobbit" and walking along the boardwalk where we saw the famous Merlion and the harbour where Chuck and Jackson had raced Dragonboats against each other many times in the 1980's and 1990's.


At dusk we went on the Singapore Flyer - a HUGE ferris wheel.  It is the largest in the world at 165m tall.  It took about 35 minutes to do a full trip around and the views were amazing. 

This is the harbor where Chuck and Jackson used to Dragonboat race. 


This is the new Gardens that we visited in Singapore when we first went there in July.
