The Fullerton Hotel

I've never been to The Fullerton Hotel in Singapore.

It is a former British post office which has been converted into a lovely hotel. Here bathers can swim along side the hotel and enjoy the view of the prosperous island nation. This island nation has always prided itself on hard work, but is now trying to present itself as not only all work, but beginning to enjoy the play too.


According to an article in the most recent Smithsonian magazine, this tiny island nation is trying to shake its uptight image. It is beginning to focus on culture, the arts and fun. Because Singapore is at the crossroads of trade routes, it has an ideal location. Since its independence in 1965, Singapore has undergone a transformation. For example, the Boat Quay used to be a dangerous place after dark, but now has become a hot spot for night life. Extended bar hours, the Fashion Festival, and not-to-be-missed Vivo City are all coming together to help Singapore shed its all work and no play image.

That I'd like to see.
