Default Journey to Marina Bay Countdown 2007

My wife and I went down to esplanade to see the countdown 2007 fireworks around 10.30pm. Below are some photos taken by F30 handheld

Aboard train at Kallang MRT



Alight at City Hall but bad idea, so crowded



Squeezed into the crowd



Arrived at Esplanade Bridge

There was a blockage to Esplanade



Bypass and went to other side near Fullerton Hotel



Squeeze into the crowd again



Could not reach Merlion as the crowd was too congested

Fireworks look familiar ? ..



Wish you a Happy New Year 2007

Ya. City Hall was over crowded due to the rain. Many people rushed into the station at that time.

Wow! Thanks for sharing megaweb.

Especially like the pic showing people walking nonchalantly across Fullerton Bridge ignoring all the cars in between.

Haha, this is a genuine Reportage.

Couldn't image myself jostling with such a crowd and the traffic jams.

It was indeed very crowded. For safety, my wife and I decided to stay away from the moving crowd.


See an indian guy was ready to spray the foam ...

Nice sequence of shots. Too bad about the blocked view, but this reminds me of my own little journery into that mess. And those who persevered and stayed put through the light rain were duly rewarded with front-seat views..hehe.

Thanks. Lucky we never go to Orchard road where people spray foam at the crowd.
