Singapore River Festival


By chance it turns out that there is this river festival running the whole week up to the Grand Prix. Friday night was the grand opening, with a load of musical entertainment in the Clark Quay area. The Singaporean Chinese seemed determined to outdo their Beijing cousins by putting on their own spectacular light show. (movie to follow). So plenty to do at night in the lead-up to the Grand Prix weekend.
I discovered a major drawback to my hotel selection: it has no swimming pool. Previously when I have been in Singapore it has been for work and I have had little time for lying by the pool. This trip is leisure only and the lack of somewhere to chill out in the afternoons is much missed.
