Singapore- 2) Singapore at Night

The view of Singapore from CE LA VI Sky Bar at Marina Bay Sands was spectacular, especially at night! For the $30 I got to access the rooftop bar, the amount is credited towards your drink and food.

From there, I saw the Singapore skyline illuminated with countless lights, including iconic buildings like One Raffles Place, the UOB Plaza, and the OCBC Centre. A stunning view of Marina Bay Sands, the ArtScience Museum, the Singapore Flyer, Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, and the Spectra Light and Water Show. Additionally, you can marvel at Gardens by the Bay with its Supertree Grove, Flower Dome, and Cloud Forest conservatories.  From there you can also see the MBS Spectra Light and Water Show by Marina Bay Sands.

Singapore-1) Changi International Airport -The most beautiful Airport in the World

Singapore Changi Airport often said is the world's most beautiful and one of the best airports. One of the most iconic features of Changi is the Jewel, a multi-use complex that connects three of its terminals. Jewel boasts the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, the Rain Vortex, which is surrounded by a lush indoor forest known as the Shiseido Forest Valley. The complex also includes a large array of dining, shopping, and entertainment options.  Before my departure, I too got my obligatory tourist shot with the water fall.

Australia- 22) Sydney City Walk (continued)

From Chinatown and Market City, I took the L2 tram to QVB. From there, I walked to The Rocks. Then, I walked to the Royal Botanic Gardens, where I spent only a little time because I needed to get to the Opera House for a show that evening.
