Day Three - Going Colonial

IMG_1290
I spend today wandering round the colonial district of Singapore (until it started raining again). I got a picture of me in front of the famous Singapore merlion, not quite the statue of liberty but I guess it serves it purpose. Lots of English influence on the buildings round these parts like the old Government building, in front of a Singapore Cricket Club ground.

There's plenty of new buildings around as well like Esplanade, which definately has more spikes than the Sydney Opera House

Finally, here's a picture of the man who founded Singapore, Sir Stamford Raffles, they built this statue where he first set foot on the Island.
