Sentosa Island

I went to Sentosa island the whole day yesterday. I went there by bus and then bought a package-ticket which included 3 atractions (Merlion, Tiger tower and Butterfly and Insects Kingdom). It was S$30 for the ticket. First attraction that I went to was the butterfly kingdom. To get there we are given two options, on foot or using what-so-called skyride. Skyride is like a cable cart when people in some cold countries use when they need to get to the top of a snow-ski mountain (instead of walking). So I decided to take the skyride by paying S$6. It was so much fun on the cart. It was quite high but short. Once on the top, the butterfly kingdom was not so far from where I got off the cable cart. In the 'big nest' of the butterly I saw lots of mummified butterflies and insects. Well not all dead, some are let free also in a big cage where some big carrots are also inside the cage for tourists to take pictures with. I did take some pics with them which I'll attach here later.

Done with the kingdom, I went to the second attraction Tiger tower. The tower is appearently hugely sponsorred by Singapore Tiger beer so that's how the tower got its name. Speaking of the tower, it is not one that people climb up or one with stairs. To get to the peak of the tower we've got to get on a 'cart' that brings us up slowly to see the entire look of Singapore and Sentosa island.

After the tower I went to my last attration of the day, it's Merlion. It is appearently a mix of a lion and a mermaid. If you want to know more of the history just get inside so-famous Merlion and they will bring you to a small cinema to watch the history in a not boring way. They'll also take you to the mouth and the top of the top of the Mermaid-Lion.

One more thing to know, don't worry if you don't have your camera with you. They take pictures of the visitors in every attraction there. Of course we have to pay to get the picture, but hey sometimes they don't look so bad!

I went there in the midday and went back home at around 9. So tired but having fun. Pictures will be uploaded here soon. Enjoy!
