Thursday evening was a lot of fun. I got to see the Raffles Hotel and the Long Bar. Not really sure why its called that, the bar isn't that long but maybe it was in the original building. There was a fire somewhere in its history but it has since been rebuilt. I had to get the obligatory Singapore Sling. See the bright pink thing I'm drinking in the pictures to the right. It was as I suspected disgustingly sweet.
The grounds of the hotel are magnificent. How in the world they survived the heat before air conditioning while dressed up in Victorian clothes is beyond me!
Walked through downtown Singapore at night while it was all lit up. Its a beautiful city full of money. Saw two Rolls Royces and so many beautiful buildings and shopping centers.
Some iconic Singaporean things like the Merlion spitting into the bay, and the giant ship on top of three tall buildings. Apparently there is a pool and bar up there.
