Singapore: The Merlion


From Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles to Lee Kuan Yew Singapore is the definition of an entrepreneurial nation led by a vision that is hard to parallel.  Their spirit is embodied in their national motto, “Majulah Singapura,” or in English, “Onward, Singapore.” 

When I arrived in Singapore my aunt, uncle and their 1 year old daughter had been living there for all of three days.  My first two days with them we just walked around some of the busy areas of town and hung out by the pool.  On the third day we went to the new Gardens by the Bay in the morning and in the evening went up on the Marina Bay Skypark, put some money down in the casino and got a Singapore Sling at the Long Bar in the Raffles Hotel. 








It was a well earned relaxing few days exploring one of the Asian Tigers.
