The Fountain Of Wealth, And Other Stories
Walk out of the Pan Pacific Hotel on to the walkway outside, and the heat is immediately upon you; but a short stroll round the curve, passing some shop windows, cross the road via the overhead walkway, and then you reach Suntec City, a haven of cool, air-conditioned malls, filled with shops and restaurants - and access to The Fountain of Wealth.
On previous visits to Singapore, Wendy and I have followed the tradition of walking three times round the fountain, and making a wish; it's a popular attraction! and the cool splash of the water landing in the pool is a soothing respite from the outdoor heat.
We also love Giant, the huge supermarket which stocks as much bottled water as we need, along with multipacks of Lux soaps in different fragrances, that are no longer available in England. We always have spare weight capacity in our luggage, so Wendy can stock up with a good supply to take back home with us.
Back at the Pan Pacific, we also realised that whilst enjoying the Happy Hour on Floor 38, we could also watch the beautiful light show in Super Tree Grove; Floor 38's panoramic windows offered a fine view!
There are two performances of the light show, so we tended to watch the first from Floor 38, and then the second show from our bedroom windows a few floors down.
First, though, we partook of a cream tea...
Followed shortly afterwards by the Happy Hour ...
And some swirly lights - where did they come from?
Are they reflections in the panoramic windows on Floor 38?
