National Day

I would like to start by saying this; you will never find a cleaner downtown then the one in Singapore.  It almost seemed unreal.  Not a single piece of trash on the ground as far as the eye could see!  We went downtown on Singapore's National Day (their Independence Day) to take part in all of the festivities.  As we arrived, we walked around for a while before settling down along the street preparing for the fireworks.  Before they started there was a parade that consisted of what seemed like the country's whole armed forces driving down the street.  Jeeps, humvees, mobile bridges and tanks all lead the way followed by a couple hundred marching soldiers.  As soon as they passed the fireworks went off; after they were finished we took some photos of downtown as seen from the marina.  It was pretty neat seeing everything lit up!  To see some more photos click here.
