Signs and Sights of Singapore





The infamous "Merlion" -- Singapore's mascot.







There is a reason Singapore is called a "fine" City. Also, for those that don't know what a Durian is -- it is a fruit. The problem with it is that it smells like body odor/old gym socks and is very potent. You can smell it a block away. Thus, the movement of such dangerous fruit is somewhat regulated.






Speaking of Durians, this is the Espalande - Theatres on the Bay. It has been called the Durian building by some given the resemblance to the fruit.









They are serious about no trespassing...







...but they make sure there are seats on the MRT for people who are elderly/disabled, pregnant and ventriloquists, which is nice.







They are also serious about showing what can happen when you smoke. Amazingly, smoking still appears to be popular. There seem to be very few places to do it, but there are always people outside gathered having a smoke.
