This is just a quick post that I wanted to share with you all. I've seen flashmobs on tv (eg. Modern Family) and thought they were awesome …. but until our recent visit to Singapore I had never actually seen one in real life. We were walking through the foyer of our hotel (Marina Bay [...]

Universal Studios Singapore – Part 6 – Hollywood & New York
As you enter Universal Studios Singapore you are transported into the Hollywood zone. This area is the equivalent of Main Street at Disneyland.

This is a dual rollercoaster where both tracks are [...]
