That’s New Bridge Road at Cross Street, the focal point of Singapore’s annual Chinese New Year celebration.
This is South Bridge Road at Cross Street. We used to live less than a block from here, on Mosque Street. You can just see a bit of the green entrance to the Mosque on the right.
Note the new tower going up in the background in Tanjong Pagar. That red circle tower (the PS 100 Green Tower) and the dark one next to it (Carlton City Hotel) weren’t there in 2011. In fact, I used to walk straight through the empty lot that is now the PS 100 to get to work.
It’s not for nothing that people joke about Singapore’s national bird being the construction crane.
