If you've visited Merlion, then it means you've visited Singapore. Well at least that's the "must-visit" spot whenever I accompany somebody new to Singapore. This time I accompany my sister for her first time to Singapore and she obliged me to visit Merlion statue, the one across Marina Bay Sands to be exact.
We visited Singapore last August, one week before Singapore celebrate its 50th national day, so a huge celebration is being prepared everywhere in Singapore during our stay in Singapore at that time. On of them can be seen by young troops patrol around Merlion statue.
During my visit, the new bridge that connected Esplanade to Merlion statue has been opened for public, so this new bridge shortened the walk from the exit of Esplanade MRT station to the Merlion statue. When we almost closed to the Merlion, I can see lots of buses being parked, which means many tourists are visiting Merlion at the same time as me.

At that time, it's kinda hard to get good picture since the place was too crowded. Peoples are all over the place, even in the place that do not cross sign.
After visiting Merlion, I just realized that i was wearing a t-shirt with similar abbreviation with Merlion. Merlion is coming from the words "Mermaid" and "Lion", while at that time I wore Mermeow t-shirt, which coming from the words "Mermaid" and "Meow". What a coincidence :p
XOXO,
The Tourist
