Just failed to get into the red box that is the Merlion hotel this evening, a curious Japanese artist's creation installation built around Singapore's kitsch tourist icon on the Esplanade, the merlion, a hotel room with raffles wallpaper. Only 150 Singdollar a night, but all the bookings till mid May snapped up a long time ago. The chief guide told me they've been admitting approximately 1000 visitors a day. She was referring to the merlion as a 'she' and said 'she' was pretty fragile made of porous shanghai plaster whatever that is.
More soon...I took a whole bunch of pix will try and post shortly.
