This morning I decided to see the water front which is so much of the reason for Singapore's growth during it's first 160 years of it's existence under the British and still remains very important today...although finance and electronic technology has assumed at least equal importance.
I took a 3 hour cruise on a replica Chinese junk for views of the city from the Straits, observing some of the ship traffic in the Straits, and seeing some of the many small islands that dotthe coast and straits. It was also a bit refreshing to be out in a breeze on the water.
This a view as we left the Harbor with a resort island called Sentosa on the left. It can actually be reached from Singapore by a cable car.
Here is a view of the parade of ships out in the main Straits:
This is the Junk docked at Kusu Island which was about 45 minutes from the harbor. The water was actually quite blue-green a just a few minutes out.
And this is a pic on the Island:
