Episode #10 – Another beautiful day in Singapore! We walk through suburbs and central city neighbourhoods – Little India & Geylang.
In a few days that we had in Singapore we wanted to get a little bit more of the feel for the city, not only the central of the city and its busy areas, but also the residential complex of Geylang, where we stayed for a few nights.
It’s typical suburbs. Very clean, well taken of and with so many palm trees around sometimes it even feels like you are somewhere in Miami. After our very long and very-very hot day we went back to the hotel to have some rest. We still had a few more places on our list that we wanted to visit so we freshened up a little and went back exploring.
Walking through Little India we passed by so many vendors selling everything, from fresh fruits and vegetables, to clothing & souvenirs. Most memorable to us were the flower stalls. We were impressed with fresh flower garlands made in the best Hindu tradition for the festival season. There are many traditional Indian temples with Shiva at the entrance to welcome you in. The abundance of shoes outside always reminds us of local traditions.
We stopped by an old Chinese colonial building called House of Tan Teng Niah. Its one of its kind left in the area and one of the most colorful buildings in Singapore. We snapped a few pictures and got a move on before the sun sets.
If you are in the mood for some serious shopping visit Mustafa Centre. It’s an enormous shopping mall opened 24 hours a day every day and offering endless variety of souvenirs, electronics and clothing.
We walked through Little India for over 2 hours just appreciating how diverse and colorful this neighborhood is. If you get a chance to visit Little India while in Singapore don’t pass on this opportunity.”
From Toronto, Canada to Singapore, with Russian flavor! 😉
