From Esplanade to Merlion (surprisingly -personally to me)

Something surprised me today. I was planning to go around Singapore, so I went to City Hall to go to Peninsula Plaza. I thought the plaza would be as nice as other big malls, in fact it was the worst one I've ever been in. Not to be mean just to be honest. The outside look is fine but when I got inside it was horrible. Most of the floor tiles are .. tileless. Yea, half of the whole floor is not tiled yet. And they only cover it with cheapy rug and carpet with diferent styles and colors which do not help at all and instead they make it even so much worse. Well enough of that poor building..

I decided to go back to City Hall and saw a sign board directing to so-called Esplanade. Well FYI in Singapore they have this City Link. It is a link where they link 4 big buildings (including malls and others) underground. Yea it's very cool, indeed. Anyway on the sign board there was not only Esplanade, there were other 3 places linked. I chose Esplanade as I never tried going there.

I thought it was going to be another mall, no it's not. It's a theater (this time I'm using American English, so no complain for that word) art kind of building where obviously people show their arts. I did take some time looking at some of the arts, paintings and sculptures. When I was getting a bit bored and wanting to go back I saw this sign board saying "To the Roof Terrace" or something like that. I was quite interested to know what it would be looking like. So there I was managing to get to the roof. It was WOW. I won't describe the detail of my feelings at the time cause I think they're not really easy to describe from here so please just enjoy the pictures that I've attached on this post.

On the roof I was surprised! I saw Merlion! I didn't think I were gonna find it there. I got so excited. So after taking few pictures I went back to the basement to go outside the building and directly to the Merlion just across the river near the building. So that's the story how I got all these pictures. Enjoy them!

Oh here's a video that I took (it's on Youtube now! click here for more videos)

PS: Anyway after the excursion at Merlion I went to China Town first before heading back home. (Just thought that would be important to say here ;p)
