Flyer and the Food Trail




Today was another interesting day in Singapore as we saw the magnificent view of the city within thirty minutes! One of Singapore's most famous attraction sites is known as the Singapore Flyer which Virginia, Leah, Jennifer, Rachel, and I got to experience. It is one of the tallest ferris wheel's in the world as it reaches approximately one hundred and sixty-five meters which can be equivalent to about a forty-two stories high. To go around once takes around thirty minutes which was all it took to amaze us with Singapore's beautiful landscape.

Unfortunately, it was pouring down rain in addition to some violent thunder and lightening when we arrived to the Flyer. Because of the terrible weather, the Flyer had closed. We simply waited out the rain and we kept busy with the food trail at the Singapore Flyer. We had a brilliant idea where each individual bought a different dish and we combined the food to make our own buffet. This was a great way for us to experience different cultural foods in one meal!

Because of the unfortunate weather, we were not able to continue our day with the tour of the Marine Barrage. Even with the rain, our day at the Singapore Flyer was filled with excitement and many memories. Hopefully you and your families will make a trip to Singapore and experience the outstanding view of the Singapore River and Sinapore's many gorgeous skylines and beautiful landscapes of the country itself from one of the world's largest ferris wheels.
