Singapore Schwing - 18/03/'08

Spent the last few days in Singapore and kinda fell in love with the place (again)










I've always liked this city, but it's been about 15 years since my last visit. At that time, my fave Indian restaurant in the world was there as well as some great places to play tennis. Happily, they still exist, but what has developed in the ensuing years has turned the city into a destination I'm eagerly looking forward to exploring more of in my next trip.










My next trip will be in June as an episode of our series will shoot here. This trip was to scout some locations and as the script calls for lush jungle coverage, I was happy to find out that this easily exists in beautiful city parks, all within walking distance of anything needed.










Have to say the city has a deep beauty I hadn't recognized before. Fantastic restaurants, great, friendly, fast-paced and knowledgeable people - everything runs so well there, which I always knew, but this time I really noticed.










These pics reveal a small glimpse of my experience: A cool building near my hotel (with large LED panels that constantly change color), the view from my hotel room, a nearby building that was so perfect it looked like a giant architectural model and then some pics from the various places we scouted.





As we were scouting, I kept thinking how great it will be to get up early in the mornings and run through some of these beautiful parks, many of which are teeming with lil' monkeys, so if I can manage to get a few of them to jog with me, I'll be in heaven...
