  You have to pay to go into the conservatories and onto the bridge.

  A ****ing bridge. Yes, one with a view but still...

  My point is, culture and identity is not something that you can manufacture overnight. Whether or not that park is going to be an integral part of the Singaporean identity is not something you can proclaim on opening day.

  I agree with that, and the Botanical Gardens suits that title better. Gardens by the Bay is probably closer in concept to the Eden Project in Cornwall.

  I'm still amazed at the number of people who ate 8 dollar chicken rice.

  Rich people in SG are a bountiful apparently.

  The normal across the other outlets I think.

  When I had a Brazilian guest come over for 2 days, I made it a point to show him the ulu corners and hawker centres instead.

  When we have guests over and hold CS events, we usually have to go somewhere central as there can be up to 40 of us.

  hence a "supposedly" local food meal adds up to $10 with drinks

  While on the subject of local food, it turns out that the changi village hawker centre is closed for renovations.

  SERS

  Anyway... Now some market analysis say SMRT should not give up retail, but rather have seperate team to run the rail and retail...

  Thing is... It drives profit for them, but most of the profit ends up given off as dividend and not kept for future replacement needs...

  it's as good as no pt having retail.
