Who doesn’t want to see the beauty of the country you are visiting? I think nobody wants to miss any opportunity to see how wonderful a foreign country is, specially at night with all the lights on. In our own experience, last year, when we visited Singapore for 4 days, we tried many things and visited tourist spots like the Sentosa Island, China Town, Vivo Mall, Suntec City Mall, Fountain of Wealth and of course the version of Singapore’s “London Eye”, The Singapore Flyer which marks our Valentines celebration very memorable and unforgettable.
Singapore Flyer according to WIKIPEDIA is a giant Ferris wheel in Singapore built-in 2005 and finished in 2008. It is the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, taller than London Eye and Star of Nanchang.
Anyway, from our little shopping in the morning at Singapore’s China Town, we went to Sun Tec City for a lovely dinner at Kenny Rogers Roasters, sat in-front of the Fountain of Wealth for a little rest, wander around Marina Square and head our way to the ever famous Singapore Flyer to see Singapore at night! We walked for almost 20-25 minutes and finally reached the place where the giant Ferris wheel is located.
Here are the photos I took with my Canon IXUS 105.

I'm afraid of heights but then I manage. LOL. Singapore as my background.

There are restaurants and take away shops in the ground floor part of the building so wide variety of snacks is available. We paid S$29.50 each, the ride is approximately 30 minutes. Last ride is 10pm, opens everyday from 8:30am to 10:30pm.
It was such a great Valentines Day as well as a little holiday for us two. We had a very memorable experience that will last a lifetime for sure. I am hoping that one day I will visit Singapore again not just with this man but also with our kids and my daughter, Nina.
Have a great day!
Fascinating places. Good photographs too. Thanks.

Glad that you took back good memories of my country.
I have visited Philippines many times and always struck by how friendly you are – we Singaporeans can learn alot from you about courtesy and graciousness.
Peace, Eric
