The Singapore Flyer

Singapore is such a great city!  It quickly became one of our favorite 'big cities' ever visited.  It is such a clean city with beautiful landscaping throughout.  The primary language spoken there is English, which makes things so much easier for those of us who like the familiarity of our native language of English.  The public transportation system includes buses and a subway system which are unbelievably clean, safe and easy to access/navigate. 

Additionally, Singapore has a ton of things to both see and do that range from ultra modern, to authentic - cultural diversity, to historic temples, to an incredible zoo with active animals, to beautiful landscape and multiple beaches, to great shopping, etc.

If your stomach can handle it... Singapore is home to the world's largest observation wheel.  It stands 165 meters (or 541 feet or 180 yards).  This is nearly two football fields high!

The flyer offers various unique experiences with unbelievable panoramic views.  If your stomach can handle it, you can opt for one of these experiences; the 'Full Butler - Sky Dining Flight Experience', a 'Singapore Sling Cocktail Flight', a 'High Tea Flight', a 'Moet & Chandon Champagne Flight', or perhaps you want to experience a 'special occassion' such as getting married high above Singapore with up to 26 of your closest friends and family joining you!

We did not personally experience the flyer, as I'm not sure that my stomach could handle it.  Carrie loves these things, but me... that's a different story.  I love to fly around the world, but I do have my limits!   ;-)

Below are a couple photos taken from below the wheel's base and the Singapore Flyer's website, should you want to learn more.
