The Railway Station Is A giant Advertisement - and I like it

Linkway at Bugis MRT station in Singapore.

I know three stations in Singapore with long linkways which need travelators to speed you on your way. Two are Promenade and Beauty World. The third is Bugis, above.

The advertising is inescapable. However, I like it. The tedium of the walk is enlivened by the unmissable advertising. The walls and floor are filled with colour. You learn something new. Unlike permanent installations, the ads change every week or so, so your journeys offer new experiences.

Hotel at Changi airport Singapore

Dark and secluded, Crowne Plaza Hotel. (The same hotel brand is at Heathrow. WQe passed it as we drove away from Heathrow towards London. A way from the airport.) This branch in Singapore is conveniently adjacent to the airport, undercover, just walk across a curved ground floor linkway. The entrance from the inside of the airport is dark and mysterious and you don't know what it's leading to, a bit like Alice going into the rabbit hole.

It's brighter with glass windows looking onto reception on the side where you approach from outdoors.
