Title: Singapore
Post by: RickK on April 07, 2008, 12:19:37 AM

Hi All,
I'm "stuck" :wink: in Singapore for the next 3 weeks and figured I'd share some pix with you all.  I've been fortunate to travel to these exotic places due to work - I don't think I would have made it here on my own, had it not been for my work. Enjoy. Maybe these will help you conjure up the urge to book a trip here - a trip that starts with a 36 hour flight itinerary.  

From my hotel room the morning of arriving - off in the distance you can just see the petrol-refineries and the cranes of the shipping port.  In the first pix you can see the Singapore River:

I took a $13 - 30 minute "Bumboat" ride on the Singapore River.  First pix is the outside of the boat, 2nd is the inside.  Straight inboard diesel (I think) with a tiller steering.

Thanks for sharing! I have never been to Singapore. I hope to some day.
