What is New in Singapore - Singapore Ducktours

Singapore Ducktours is not a newly launched tourist activity. Yet, it's my first try.

The duckie can swim in water and walk on land.


I caught the duckie in a beautiful day.

















Marina Bay Sands would open in late Jun 2010.

















Hello, Merlion!

















The low building has a nickname "Pineapple Bun".

















Take a look at the bridge. It is said it looked like DNA.

















Singapore Flyer, the new icon in Singapore.

















These seats are not new attraction. They are for the coming National Day celebration.

What is New in Singapore - Universal Studio Singapore

The focus of the trip, Universal Studio Singapore. Talking about size, it's even smaller than the one in Osaka, Japan. Some facilities and rides were not yet open, so it only took a few hours to finish everything in the amusement park. Next time, don't rush into anything which is newly open as soft launch (open but not everything is ready) is too common now. ar..

















The popular folks from Madagascar. The four silly funny penguins are my favorite.

















Shrek, another popular animated character also set up a palace in Singapore.

































2 fierce dinos had a fight outside Jurassic Park.

















The set of Mummy is so kool though the movies are so so.

















This car attracted me to take a photo for it.

















Not sure what the religious people think of this decoration.

















The dancers worked hard to earn audience' applause.

















Hershey's Chocolate World, a fun place to visit no matter if you are a chocolate lover.

What is New in Singapore - Hard Rock Hotel

The Singapore Government spent lots of effort and resources to develop its tourism industry recently. Resort World Sentosa, consists of several hotels, tourist attractions and casinos, is one of the hottest project among the world

Stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel there. The lobby showcases costumes and things used by stars.

















A stylist bar area in the lobby. No private enough to share confidential information.

















Decoration in room features entertainment industry elements. Probably the hotel was newly launched at the time, so its service was very entertaining as well. First, it messed up room keys of numbers of rooms. When I successfully open my room, I found an unknown luggage there. Called the front desk but received a cold reply that they would handle it later. Finally, a staff pop up to take away the luggage. And it is my final stay in the hotel.

















Swimming pools of the hotel. Nice environment but bad service.


















A cute snake statute in another hotel in Resort World Sentosa, Festive Hotel.
