Marina Bay

Yesterday we went to Marina Bay.  We left from our hotel and went to the subway station. We had never been on the subway here so we had to figure it out.  Once we figured it out we went down to the platform it was really nice.  There were doors in front of the tracks so you couldn't fall in and the whole thing was colored, unlike most subways which are grey.  We stayed on the subway for a while then got off.  When we got out of the subway we walked towards the famous "Merlion" which is a statue that is half mermaid and half lion.  On our way there we took some pictures of one of the strangest buildings I've ever seen.  It had three towers with a boat on top!  I think it was a hotel and casino.  After, we kept walking towards the Merlion.  When we got there we realized it was as weird as it sounded.  It was a white statue that was 20 feet tall of a "Merlion" we took a few pictures and moved on.  As we walked a long the bay we say a giant Ferris wheel, like The London Eye, a strange looking science museum, and all sorts of strange skyscrapers.  None of the skyscrapers were square, it was almost as if they were having a contest to see who could have the strangest. There was everything from long and skinny ones to ones that seemed like they should tip over.  We kept walking around and as we got to the base of the three towers with the boat on top we found a mall.  We went in and noticed that there was an ice skating rink. We thought it was weird.  Then we got some food that was pretty good. After that we went out to see the light show. The three towers had projectors on them that projected on the fountains and the lights made made movies of people and other things.  It was pretty cool what they could do with just some fountains and lights.  When that was done we took the metro back home.
