Walking through the Padang we passed the Cenotaph which commemorated the men from the region who died in the WW1 on the front and those from WW2 on the reverse.Following the recapture of Singapore from the Japanese in 1945 it was rededicated by Lord Mountbatten who was part of the original commemoration party of Prince Edward in 1922.
We are able to see from this area an amazing hotel complex of three skyscrapers with a ship on top of the three of them! The skypark ontop can hold 3900 people and has 150m infinity swimming pool which would probably give me the sreaming hebijeebies with the thoughts of just swimming over the edge.The idea comes from decks of cards and is of course a giant casino complex originally due for Las Vegas but due to the economic downturn in 2009 in the USA the design got used here where there are no such problems....believe me.The grand opening was on February 17 2011 with 7 celebrity chef restaurants in the complex. Awesome!The white flower structure in front is the Art Science complex which also doubles up as a wedding fascinator for Maureen's next wedding occasion. www.marinabaysands.com
The marina is a great place to walk around especially in the evening ,they also have the Float at Marina Bay, also known as Marina Bay Floating Platform, it is the world's largest floating stage,located on the waters of the Marina Reservoir, in Marina Bay,
Made entirely of steel, the floating platform on Marina Bay measures 120 metres long and 83 metres wide, the platform can bear up to 1,070 tonnes, equivalent to the total weight of 9,000 people, 200 tonnes of stage props and three 30-tonne military vehicles. The gallery at the stadium has a seating capacity of 30,000 people.
