Today was our day to go to "Gardens by the Bay". The gardens are still there and still beautiful. They are, however, becoming more and more Chinese as time goes on. There are more statues,rocks and novelty features and fewer plants.
The theme at the moment is Eurpoean Autumn combined with European fairy stories. Cinderella's pumpkin coach was the big hit with everyone selfying or photoing in front. There were masses of pumpkins of all sorts, shapes, textures and colours. Most were real, but some were made in Singapore. (hallow'een?).
The cloud dome had some beautiful orchids. Also a new collection of large statues in the shape of flowers (who needs the real thing in a garden?)
We had a great day.
We noticed the same thing with animals - plenty of sculptures, etc, but not a lot of the real thing. Probably easier and cheaper to maintain that way. Glad you enjoyed business class. Might become a habit???
