Singapore's Marina Bay

We stayed at the Conrad Hilton, near the Marina Bay Reservoir, so we checked out a lot of the views from around the reservoir. And one late afternoon/early evening, we decided to walk around the entire thing before going to dinner. Despite the heat and humidity, it was an easy and pleasant walk, and Shweetie especially enjoyed checking out all the architecture.


The Merlion in front of the Fullerton Hotel


The oddly shaped Esplanade building, which houses a convention center, is often called "The Durian" by locals, though we didn't get close enough to it to find out if it stinks like its namesake

Walking along Helix Bridge, toward Marina Bay Sands Resort and Casino, which was built within the last couple of years


The weather was surprisingly pleasant at sunset

Shweetie loved looking at all the cool buildings
