Just a few pics (from our new camera!) and random ramblings from the last few days as we continue to explore the city.
A couple views from our apartment. As we are entering(?) into 'monsoon season' its fun to get a picture of the city centre on a clear night. {If any of you guys love a good thunderstorm, I suggest moving here. As two Midwesterner's we thought we had seen it all - until now. Think of those house rattling summer storms that roll through - now multiply that by about 100 and imagine being cloud level with the storm. The buildings are higher and clouds hang much lower.}
A classic Singaporean hawker center (food court).
A typical mall. Michael has been a really good sport about helping me shop for some home essentials. Hurry up and get here shipping container.
Tuesday was a holiday - Deepavali - so Michael had the day off work. After a run and breakfast we took a trip to his office to check out the view.
(...and over there you can see Indonesia)
A great view of the Mariana Bay Sands hotel and casino. Although it only just opened in 2011, it's already a Singapore skyline icon. If you look up Singapore, chances are you will run into pictures of the infinity pool overlooking the city. This is located here at the top of the Sands.
What's a holiday without a stop at the Raffles Hotel for a classic Singapore Sling - the birthplace of the cocktail. Woo!
And a quick bite to eat to round out the day. Note: Michael really enjoys just walking through and 'checking out' the hawker centers - we don't always stop to eat :)
PS shout out to the most amazing dumplings of all time, Din Tai Fung.
Later this week on the blog, a break from the food and an update on how shockingly athletic we are attempting to be being!
Xo.
