My Travel in Singapore (Pictures from 2002-01-12 to 2002-01-15)

Finally, after a brief Christmas break back at home, I am off again, and this time it is to one of the four Asian Dragons - Singapore. 

It is hard to describe my feelings toward Singapore.  In so many ways, it seems so familiar to places such as HK, NY and Chicago and yet, in equally as many ways, it calls attention to all but the most casual of observers, its individuality.   Add to that a culture that's as diverse as its population and a society where professionalism reigns supreme, you have one place that spells success.   With that, I welcome you to my Singapore Experience...

Streets of Singapore

Singapore has spent a tremedous amount of efforts to preserve its past. Many of the buildings retain its rich history. Here is the Raffle Hotel near Raffle's Landing

Streets of Singapore

Over 70% of the population is Chinese. Therefore, it is no surprising that many buildings are of Strait Chinese style

Bird Singing

Due to the jet lag, I couldn't sleep so I went to Zion Rd to listen to bird singing

Chinatown

Strange to have a Chinatown in the heart of what is essentially a Chinese country isn't it?

Sre Marimman Temple

A very popular Hindu temple within Chinatown. Singapore has a large Indian population.

Muslim Mosque

About 100m next to Sre Marimman Temple sits a Muslim Mosque. Why can't the rest of the world get along as easily?

Chinatown

Even Chinatown is "multicultural" as it features as many differnet regions of Chinese food you can imagine.

Street Performance

What struck me as kind of odd was that no one in the audience provided any emotional feedbacks - no cheers, no appluases, nothing. People just watched. Later I learned it is not common for Singaporean to outwardly show their emtions.

New Meets the Old

Phyllis, this one is specially for you! Who would have thought an e-space company would sit in an old place like this?

East Coast Park

I met up with Pathman and his friends in East Coast Park for relaxing afternoon of rollerblading and bicycle riding.

Pathman, you lucky dog!

New and Old Friends from Singapore

Hey guys, thank you so much! I had a wonderful time! Hopefully I will get to see you all again very soon.
