Singapore in 3 Hours

While en-route to India, got nearly a daytime of transit gap for my next connecting flight... and at first thought a day trapped inside airport sounded like as bad as it could get, but not after I learn that Singapore offers on visit tourist visa to step out of Airport and enjoy the country side...

And this news got more sweet after knowing, the Changi airport itself offers a free ride for international transit people to visit few select places inside country... A great deal...

Straight after landing in Singapore after a long flight from SFO, just went straight(not to mention the long walk inside huge Changi airport I made to reach) to the travel agent counter to sign-up for next available trip...

Rest assured... those travel agents would help us get our Visa stamped for tourist visa and help us until we step into our bus... agents were polite, patience and very helpful.. a rare breed here in my nation...

It was refreshing to see lush green after being inside the flight cabin for nearly 18hours..


these buildings are one proof that tells how Singapore tries to tackle its limited land but at same time giving superior lifestyle...


If im right, this place was told to me as Singapore Parliament.. not very sure though... its been 3 months since I visited this place..


The Fullerton Hotel near Singapore River...


statues next to the banks of Singapore River..


Here I'm... next to Singapore River...


not sure who this guy was... but If my memory is correct, someone told he was architect of Singapore or something like that...


another snap next to river..


Fullerton in the background...




surprised to see Indian caste name Chettiars at the center of Singapore..



A mall without people... where are they??? Lets shift this to India...

A beautiful country...


A replica of London eye?? Not sure...


Chopstick monument... Will get smiles when I get to see this in BBC Asia Today programme where this monument comes prominent in background...


wow... a green... right in the middle of bustling place...


Indians spotted here... look at the hairstlye of the blue chutidar clad lady in bench....






A great country indeed...

Myself @ Eye of Education - Stanford University

It was a very remember-able visit to Stanford University. Being in the place from where a hosts of industry(for the Internet is key) gets its biggest boosts in way of entrepreneurs is a very very special moments...

clicked so many snaps.. but unfortunately the camera was dropped to floor and got broken and with that gone are the snaps... luckily had few in mobile, and here are they...

Myself and my cousin and in hands my niece..


one part of Stanford campus... after being studied in 2acre schools and 50acre college... seeing this deserted roads resembling a village/town was a big surprise and disappointment of missing so many things...
