Last Day in Singapore

We decided to give the city a good looking over so we started with the Singapore Flyer.
 The wheel is slightly larger than the London Eye and more recent.  There are evident improvements in terms of access and the air conditioning works well.  From the top you can see Malaysia and the massive amount of shipping in the Straits and the full extent of this City State.
The massive building on the left is 3 towers that dominate the skyline of the City.  It contains a Hotel, offices and a Casino and on the top there is a 1 hectare park and gardens and pool.
The afternoon was spent in various markets and shopping malls seeing how they do it.  Boy, can they shop! There is every type of shop and every type of shopping experience from the highest end to bargaining for trinkets in market stalls.
