Sentosa Island - Singapore's Theme Park

Simply because it rests in every tourist brochure, airline magazine and Singapore Guidebook, I  suppose I succumbed to a visit to Sentosa Island out of pure Caucasian curiosity.

Sentosa Island is a reclaimed land mass island adjacent to the Singapore Harbor, which has been put together as a convention spot, casino, theme park and high-end mall.... with a beach attached.

It stands as the singular spot for a family visiting with children to let off some steam, hit some rides, and to do so in a clean and organized fashion.  And like the rest of Singapore, it's safe. Although I took some shots of three Chinese women from Singapore who had never been there. So locals are a strong market as well.

Since it is an "island" there are a couple of ways to get there....one was just to tempting to not try.

So there's a quick look at Sentosa Island.  The amazing thing in addition to spending all day around food, shops, and shops and food.... when you arrive back on the mainland, you'll be at Vivo City, a action-packed, gigantic super mall, with food, shops, and shops and food.  The astounding thing, after my first month here I 'm beginning to differentiate the Malls.  I actually know which ones are the must sees, and which to avoid. It must be the Singaporean water!

There.  I've done Sentosa Island.  Now onto the less familiar areas of Singapore and the heart and soul of this adventure.
