The Esplanade
The Esplanade is a striking building. It has two domes which are covered with "spikes". Seen from the front, they look like bug eyes.
A view of the Esplanade.

My brother took this excellent picture of the Esplanade's spikes.
One of the arts pieces inside the Esplanade. I really don't know what to make of it.

This is the first-person point-of-view of the fella on the left hand side in the last picture.
The Merlion
A short walk from the Esplanade took us to the Merlion Park, where the Singapore's original Merlion lives.
The sign leading to the Merlion Park.
This is the mini Merlion at the Merlion Park. Its job is to greet visitors to the park.
This is the original Merlion, standing 10 m tall. You can just about see the mini Merlion in the background.
Don't tell them I took a picture.
Around Singapore

Christmas spirit was truly upon us when I went to visit Singapore. This rather nice Christmas tree was located in one of the malls.

I could have sworn he was black before.
