This past weekend, we decided to hit up the Marina Bay area. If you know, this is where the famous Marina Bay Sands is located (the hotel/casino that looks like three towers with a boat on top). To get there, we took a train out to the downtown business area. From there, we walked through City Link Mall, which is basically an underground mall that links the main business area to the Marina Bay area.
While walking, we stumbled upon these:
Coke was running a promo with a piano. Too bad the kids Coke hired to man the event hogged the piano and Andy and I couldn't do a BIG performance. Those kids probably don't even know what BIG is.
We got free cokes!
The Hershey's store had a life size Hershey bar walking around.
We surfaced right by the Esplanade and got some dinner at the gourmet outdoor market that was happening right by the water:
Paella - yum. Made me wish I was in Barcelona again!
Chicken brats - they didn't have any pork...they really like their chicken sausages here...I think it's because of the high population of Muslims here.
Then we cruised around the area catching some of the free entertainment:
This guy was doing his sound check. Apparently during the performance, he and the giant piano are hoisted 6 meters into the air and he performs up there with the piano acting as a movie screen. We just watched the practice session and opted to watch this performance instead:
31 Circus Acts in 30 minutes.
He's juggling her with his feet.
Then we walked over to the Marina Bay Sands mall and watched the light show:
They spray a wall of mist and then project video on the water wall. I felt like I was at Disneyworld. The performance is complete with music, lights, lasers, and shooting flames.
All in all, a great day out. Made for a happy me!
