Cars queuing to get out of ION Orchard.
It's only in traffic jams that you observe things around you. The lane is actually quite wide and there are so many lights too!

Spiral down...
Traffic is so bad nowadays that it affects the car parks.

Car Park Space for Disabled and Pregnant Mums
I saw this car park space at the NTUC Income at Bras Basah and saw that the disabled parking space can be used by pregnant mums too!
What a brilliant idea isn't it? This reserved space is usually empty.
Oh by the way, what you see is a "parking space" and not a "parking lot".
I recently 'learned' the correct term.
Many people in Singapore will say they are looking for a parking lot in the car park.
A Parking Lot (American term) = Car Park (British term)
Wikipedia has a good explanation on the first paragraph, read it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_lot
We know how to use the term 'lot' when we say we want to buy that lot of vegetables or buy a lot of shares. We used it as a 'collection' of something. But when it comes to parking lot, we don't. We use it as a single space. (Yes, blame it on our teachers!)
Maybe it's not our fault or our teacher's fault, it's the people who make the sign in some car park's fault. Do you notice some car parks has an electronic sign that says "Lots Available" at the entrance of the car park. They are trying to say they have "375 car parks" inside their building. Wow.....

How did that car get into that parking lot?
Today as my colleagues and I was walking to get our lunch, we saw this!
We wondered how did the car get in there?
It's the weirdest lot in the whole car park!
We looked around, it was not those Just for Gags funny show right?

Hybrid Car Parking Lots
Hmmm I wonder why I am posting photos from inside carparks these few days.
I saw this yesterday.
One shopping mall in Singapore has special lots for hybrid cars. They also have charging stations for electric cars.
Hmm. I wonder if I'll get to test drive one. Or some car companies will let me try it for a year! ;-)

The air blower...
Looks like a big monstrous hair dryer don't you think?
Many car parks seems to be using this now, depending on the design of the car park.
I call it the hair dryer type air circulator. Do you know the name of it?

Carpark
One of the many carparks in the CBD. A pleasant to the eye one too. :-)
It's called the Market St Car Park. Parking charges have been on the rise, is parking expensive in your city too?
