Marina Barrage

 

 We found another place where crowds gather to fly kites in Singapore a few weeks ago. It is the Marina Barrage, Singapore’s 15th reservoir. Over there, we enjoy good view of the surroundings too including the up and coming Integrated Resorts, Singapore River and reservoir. It was also an educational trip as the boys learn about Singapore’s efforts towards environmental sustainability from the Sustainable Singapore Gallery (SSG).

 

In fact, the place is very packed over the weekends!

Wow! So many recycled plastic bottles. Hmm...good idea for design? The last time I saw another good piece of work was the use of recycled plastic bottles to form a big X'mas tree in Singapore Night Safari.
