Sentosa

Last Saturday, we went out to Sentosa Island. It's only like 30 minutes away by bus. Then you take a tram for like 5 minutes. It's pretty nice considering it's the closest beach. There's a Universal Studios which I promised Owen I would go back and ride the roller coasters sometime. They have an indoor wave pool, zip lines that go to other islands, a luge, theater for concerts on the beach, etc. Looks like you could never get bored here.


This is Merlion Park. Reminds me a lot of Parc Guell in Barcelona.
Just a random shot from the beach. There's a tiny island across from this beach that you can walk out to on a bridge.

The Merlion statue. Yes, mer-lion. Part mermaid- part lion. Symbol of Singapore? Not sure why. I need to look that up.

This sign was on our bus. The third picture is the Durian fruit. Apparently, it smells like poop and tastes like a banana. Singaporeans love it. Personally, I have no desire to try it.
