SINGAPORE INFINITY POOL – NOT LIKE YOUR UNCLE’S
04 Aug 2010 by silverstreak / No Comments
“Marina Bay Sands” sounds like a fairly generic resort, right? It could be anywhere in the world. It’d be nice, but you know, when you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. Wrong. Infinity pools are as cool as they sound. But a 150 meter long, gently curving arc of water perched on top of a [...]

By now you will be well aware of the fact that I am seldom lured from my salubrious surroundings.

Just ask Chelsea Football Club owner, Roman Abramovich, whose costs for his new boat, Eclipse, have doubled in the last three years to a cool £724m. That’s R8.7 billion. For a boat. I have no doubt it [...]
