Arrived in Singapore and had a nice afternoon looking around Marina Bay and the financial district. Our hotel is very close to this area and walkable even though we are two minutes from the MRT (tube)
Marina bay was very nice and you could walk all the way around the harbour. The skyline was also pretty impressive too. Even though its in Asia it is very western.
Part of the walk around Marina bay is a section of the grand prix track which took place here in August / September time. This was quite cool to see.
There was a huge shopping centre under the marina sand hotel (pictured above) which I'll talk about more another time. I didn't go up this building as we were short on time. There is a big swimming pool on the roof but I wouldn't have been able to go into it as its for hotel guests only.
What really impressed me about this place was how well it's been designed. On the walk around there was a museum that showed you how they designed the whole area from the cabling and sewage underneath to the building with mixed use (offices and living). There were also leaflets with running tracks designed with different distances and other walks, they really had thought of everything.
Below is a video of me panning around the bay.
