Gardens by the Bay is a relatively new attraction in Singapore, a somewhat ‘modern’ take you might say in gardening and design, they were opened in 2012 and in 2018 they received some 50 million visitors. For something I hadn’t even heard of a couple of years ago, that’s quite an achievement, 50 million = …
Well yes. I am home, safely in Melbourne now after a somewhat long journey from Lisbon which involved three flights with Emirates and Qantas. I am still in very much a daze here and don't feel particularly functional, despite having a long night's sleep last night. It's kinda like being in the twilight zone, and …
