Here are some more perspectives from the Passengers' life in Singapore's Central Business District. Welcome to a very shiny and clean urban jungle. These shots were taken from the sky terrace in our building on the 44th floor. Above is the city's newest architectural showpiece, the Esplanade, a performing arts center.
On one side we overlook the freshwater river estuary, Marina Bay. The Esplanade is at left and the National Stadium floats on the right.
To the right of these rises Singapore's most recent epic undertaking, the Sands supercasino, scheduled to open early next year. Perhaps the city-state can compete with Macao, but the venture involves some incredibly interesting personalities. Construction at Singapore super-sites runs around the clock, seven days a week.
Another side faces the skyscrapers of the Central Business District, where all the banks operate.
The backside of the apartment building faces the Port of Singapore, one of the world's busiest shipping centers. I love watching the tugboats maneuver the cargo vessels in and out from underneath the cranes.

Beautiful views! I'm loving the updates, so keep it up. Is it terribly humid?
Nottingham is summery these days. Most importantly, and disconcertingly, that means that the sun doesn't set until 10pm.
Totally humid, Ninjarella. Today I thought we would all convert to a gas and melt back into the atmosphere, even at 11:00 PM. I pine for the long days of British summers, but sunset here is around 7:30 PM every day, all year round. That's the Equator for you.
Oof. Sounds sweaty. Maybe have some iced kopi?
By the by, I absolutely love the words blogger comes up with t0 ensure I'm not a bot. Someone should write a Jabberwocky-esque poem with them.
Today's word? "Coopiq"
