Singapore's Marina Bay Sands hotel, World's Highest Infinity Pool - ( it was amazing! )

Great pic! No one asked but I'm going to go into a little story anyways:

I was in Singapore in 2015 and had three days in the city. This was on the back-end of a 2.5 month long stint in SEA. I wanted to swim in the infinity pool really badly but of course only guests are allowed. I booked a $40 yoga class that takes place on the top floor of the hotel, hoping to sneak into the pool from the yoga change rooms as was done by other travelers I had met earlier in the trip. Didn't work, as I was caught trying to get into the pool elevator. Still determined, I spent 2 hours walking around the upper floors of the hotel trying to sneak in. I definitely got into hallways not meant for even guests, but still, didn't work. At one point I somehow got into the photo room where guests get photos taken when they reach the top of the hotel. In the end, I yolo'd and went up to some Cambodian traveler that looked around my age, told him the truth ("I'm Canadian, I came all this way to get in the pool, give me your card") and he gave me his guest card for 30 minutes while I left my backpack in his room as collateral. Best swim ever.
