Lion City



I have noticed that I have not featured many Singapore icons until now. Therefore I have decided to stroll the city by night these coming days (sorry but I am working during daytime) to snap a few of its symbols. The best way to start is definitely with the half mermaid half lion called the Merlion that was created by the tourist office in the 60s to market the City. You will see it on any souvenir T-shirt, mug or chocolate. I still do not understand how it can attract the crowds but obviously the Tourist office plan worked exactly the way they wished.
