After yet another crazy ride from Malaysia back to Singapore (less than 2hrs 15 mins :) ) we checked in to our hotel Marina Bay Sands. I just have to explain this city within the city craziness... Have never seen anything like it so not sure what to compare it to. It holds 3000 units of hotel room, made of three big towers which had an cherry on top - 2 acre ship-like platform which has all the entertainment that you can think of.
Ok we are not rich people but for less than 24 hours I felt like how that feels. I used my honeymoon card to get us upgraded which had a pretty crazy room in my book. Quickly we went up to the famous infinity pool that Levent has told me many times. This place is at one of the highest points of Singapore with a kick ass view of the city of Singapore. We were there all day and truly felt on top of the world for a few minutes.

For dinner we wanted to have something authentic and Marina Bay Sands is no different than Las Vegas by itself as far as having the top quality food from all around the world. We ended up in Taiwanese owned dumpling place that serves pork dumplings and amazing noodles. Din Tai Fung is the name of the place and they have franchises all around the world. Couple in SoCal. After we headed to their insane Casino that had 3 stories of gambling with full capacity tables and minimum tables are $50. I knew Asians like gambling but didn't know they love it! It's like a mall with 100 black jack tables total.
I played my own share of blackjack and contributed to the Singapore government at the end of the day. Upon going back to my room I grabbed a beer at the SkyPark one last time to see that scene at night time. There was club scene at 1am on a Wednesday night. Singaporeans know how to partee! I think this video would give you some idea how insanely beautiful this place is... You gotta check it out if you ever go to Singapore!
