SINGAPORE | Bugis Street

Walking around in Bugis Street.


It is not like walking along Orchard Road, or those air-conditioned mall like Vivocity, but this is a street market, thou covered, but non-airconditioned.


A busy place it was, even if you stop to look at stuff, you can not avoid to be brushed aside from the fast flowing pedestrians.


Not only they sell clothes, but they also sell fruit, Durians even!


Persimmon is also in abundance. Good fruit, sweet and juicy.


More durians, quite cheap, only $2 each!


$2 crackers (keropok) vs $2 durians, it's your call!

SINGAPORE | Multi-Culture in Chinatown

What I found quite interesting in Chinatown, was the multi cultural diversity there within, multi belief and faith.

There I saw one Temple and also a Mosque.


Pagoda Street is one of the alley in Chinatown.


The temple was still under renovation, so just manage to get a peek of what is inside.


There was a wedding ceremony held at that time, and these young women have prepared themselves with their colourful traditional dresses or also known as sarees.


Decorative flowers used as part of their belief.


Not only there were multi culture, but the product sold in Chinatown are also diversified.
