Singapore flyer and a Singapre sling

We got up late because we had such a long day yesterday. It was raining again so we headed out to the science center to see a special exhibit on Pixar and all their normal stuff - another great museum.

Before that, though, we wanted to stop into one of the mall food courts for lunch. The one thing we certainly won't forget about Singapore is the number of shopping malls. They're everywhere. At every metro station, you walk out into a mall. There's a street called Orchard Road that's entirely malls, at least 15 or 20 of them on one street. We're not really sure how the city supports so many. It's like walking down 5th ave and every 5 feet there's a designer store, except every 5 feet there's an enormous mall *filled* with designer stores.

We went to a hawker market for dinner - you walk around and pick out whatever you feel like from the many stands: thai, malaysian, cantonese, japanese, indian, pig organ soup... anything you want.

On our way to the Flyer, we saw this huge new hotel/casino
The Flyer is the tallest ferris wheel in the world (yes, taller than the London Eye)

Had a Singapore sling cocktail at the hotel where it was invented. Personally, I thought it tasted like cherry cough syrup...
