Signs of Singapore

There are many signs of Singapore.  Some actual man-made signs to direct you, and others that you look at as something somewhat unique to Singapore.

For instance, when you're walking around  underground near Orchard Road, unless you know your way around, one could easily get lost without the signs telling you which way to go.  Here are two such signs in the Orchard Road tunnels.

Then there are places that are unique to Singapore, like the Merlion at Sentosa Island or the Shaw Outdoor Stage at the Singapore Botanical Gardens.


This is the relatively new, exclusive hotel - Marina Bay Sands.  Singapore is also known for its very unique architecture.  This building below is very narrow!



The buses have this sign - I especially get a kick out of the last item, "No assault on bus captain".  I guess that takes away the "But, I didn't know" defense!


Whenever there is an accident, theft or break-in, and the police have no credible leads, I'll see signs like this:



And for all of you UCONN Men's Basketball fans out there - this sign near downtown Singapore shows that (Shabazz) Napier Road is the way to the NCAA FINAL FOUR!  Go Huskies!
