View from the bus

This past weekend was the formula1 car race in Singapore.  I did not attend,  though I was tempted to go see Bon Jovi.  The most significant impact the F1 had on my little life was the fact that it was impossible to get a taxi home from work on Friday,  and so after 45 minutes of trying and failing with the app I resigned myself to take the free company shuttle. .. to the train. .. to a bus.  Not the way I had hoped to start the weekend.

In this post I thought I would share some of the things I see from the second level of the bus on that last stretch. ...

Brand new public housing in one of the hottest areas of Singapore

Art deco old public housing right across from the new one.  Check out the Singapore flags.  Patriotism!

More cool art deco apts with the famous Tiong Bahru market in the background.  You can see the benches for residents to sit and catch up.  

There is construction all over Singapore. .. notice the path for pedestrians carefully created.  Always. 

Gorgeous Chinese temple

A bit blurred but this is my closest food center.

The Singapore river

My kids' fave pizza place

Store at the mall walking distance from my apartment

And finally the bus stop is across from this very 70's looking Baptist Church. ..Christianity is alive and well and flourishing here in Singapore.
