My pre-conceived notion of “exotic” Singapore was totally wrong.

 It was the most Western city, with everyone speaking English.  It was almost like going to London.

 

 

 

Our hotel was on top of a large hill, so after a rain,

the water gushed down this shoot.

(We also had to walk up the hill every night)

 

 

I mean, come on – Chinatown!

 

 

Great architecture all over the city.

 

Two subway stations.

 

 

That’s an apartment building (with a park on top!)

 

Street art was abundant.

 

 

This is a Dali of Isaac Newton – in an office complex.

 

 

This was my favorite.

 

 

A beautiful zoo, since it a tropical forest, that stays that way all year.

 

 

 

The second favorite highlight of the trip was discovering this astounding artist.

The museum had a huge collection of his huge works.  I fell in love with this artist.

These are oil paintings and the detail and size are unbelievable.  Above is a self portrait.

 

 

 

 

The glimmering hair is because it’s done on aluminum and the paint is scratched off..

 

A fairly new Arts complex with a great theater (which I wish I could have seen).

 

 

 

Our last city in the tour.  What a trip!
