Where's the Singapore Garden?

In my recent travel to Chiangmai and visit to the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek, I was looking for the Singapore Garden in the International Garden zone. But... we did not participate in this expo. How come? I thought we're the Garden City? Hmm... Maybe we're more interested to be known as the 1st world city state now. It's funny... I was speaking with a nice Englishman while I was having a massage near my guesthouse in Chiangmai and he asked me this question: do u know Singapore is a 1st world country now? Yes, of course I know. We've been repeatedly told of this fact by our government.

Oops. Back to the garden. Well, I did miss that Singapore didn't participate in the expo. But guess what? This weekend (or strictly speaking it's last weekend), the Singapore Garden Festival just opened at Suntec! Wow! So very Singapore ah! Can go see the gardens in indoor air-con comfort!

Well, I haven't been to the Suntec show. Will probably be very different from the Chiangmai one. More on gardening I guess.
