Singapore Day Two!

Day two of our Singapore trip was filled with sightseeing that was a bit easier on our feet since we used the hop on, hop off bus tours of the area! We didn't realize that Singapore is hot - hotter than Guam! It's closer to the equator, so that makes sense but we didn't realize that before our trip. Needless to say we attempted to get into places with A/C as much as possible but a lot of the sightseeing was outdoors. The buses made it easier to get around. We hit up Chinatown, Little India, and drove through other areas in the downtown district. Chinatown had a cool Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum. TONS of Buddhas inside!! It was about 4 floors and some areas allowed photography while others didn't. One room was wall to wall Buddhas that were about three inches tall and each one represented something different.
This funky building is a performing arts center

The Marina Bay Sands Hotel is a famous building that is often seen in pictures of Singapore. It's on the water in the downtown area across from Merlion Park (the Merlion statue was in my post from our first day in Singapore). The building on the bottom left that looks like an open hand is the ArtScience Museum. Cool structure but we did not get a chance to go inside.
