The Oriental Singapore is a five star deluxe hotel in Marina Centre, Singapore. Its fan-shaped building on Marina Square is a landmark of Marina Bay's waterfront.
Opened in 1987, the hotel went under a major revamp from August 2004 to March 2005. The hotel was closed from August to 30 November 2004. It reopened the following day, but the hotel was fully completed in March. The hotel was totally upgraded, and given a more contemporary look. It was designed by LTW Design Works, which worked on its sister hotel, The Oriental Bangkok. Both these hotels are managed by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.
In 2007, the hotel announced a re-branding exercise to rename itself to Mandarin Oriental.

Highest Bridge In The World
MILLAU (France) The highest bridge in the world.
ENGINEERING Millau, the highest bridge in the world The construction of the Millau viaduct in the southeast of France was a colossal engineering effort. The piers rise 803 feet from ground level, and the bridge weighs 400,000 tons. The bridge is supported by seven huge pillars. When the thickness of the platform (14 feet) and the height of the pillars are included, the total height reaches 1102 feet. That is about 50 feet higher than the famous Eiffel Tower. Construction of this bridge required more than 350,000 tons of concrete and 40,000 tons of steel. Assembled with the precision of a Swiss watch, this giant was designed to resist winds of up to 130 miles per hour and has cost almost 300 million euros (US$523 million). Built across the mountainous terrain of the Tarn river valley, the 8071-foot long bridge is part of the A-75 freeway that connects the cities of Clermont-Ferrand and Béziers. It will shorten by more than 60 miles the route connecting Paris with the Mediterranean. Seven European countries participated in construction of the bridge, the design of which was the work of the prestigious British architect, Sir Norman Foster, of Manchester, England.
