The Singapore Flyer
This posting is long overdue! A few weeks ago, my friend and colleague from Towers Watson, Kate Davis, was in Singapore and we had a chance to meet up. It was great seeing Kate and meeting her boyfriend Mike. We decided to experience Singapore from a different view, and booked a ride on the Singapore Flyer, the country's famous ferris wheel.
The flyer is massive and its cars are entire rooms, big enough for at least 15 people. Tourists can book a variety of themed cars based on their interests. I even saw an advertisement for a wedding car in which you can get married on the Flyer! Kate, Mike, and I selected the Singapore Sling car and got to enjoy the delicious drink on board.
The Flyer spins very slowly - it takes about 30 minutes to make a rotation and you get one round on the ride - but our time on the ride seemed to fly by! We had a great view of the city (despite the gray, cloudy day) and shared our experiences of Southeast Asia (Kate and Mike live in Hong Kong).
Thanks for a great visit, Kate! Can't wait to see you again soon!
