Hi everyone,
Welcome to WEEK 1 off my holiday travels feature......I shall be posting each Wednesday until the end of September......so if you are interested in seeing some of the EUROPEAN and ASIAN Cultures....then I hope you'll drop by and leave me some comments......
I'm hoping to make this feature as Interactive as possible....I'll answer any questions you may have if you leave me any comments below any of the posts.....
Our first stop over on the way to EUROPE was SINGAPORE......we loved it there.....and on Day 2 we went on a City Tour which included a visit to CHINATOWN to visit the biggest Chinese Temple in SINGAPORE.....OMG......inside was amazing!!!!!
I never realised the history between CHINA and SINGAPORE......and even INDIA and SINGAPORE.
It didn't take me long to spot the gorgeous Lotus flower on this cloth.....
I was gobsmacked when I walked inside this temple......so beautiful.....and there were offerings to BUDDHA everywhere......beautifully laid out on tables ......some very small offerings....and some larger ones.....people bring whatever they can afford.
I had my camera working overtime in here as there was so much to see.....but Rod did manage to take this pic of me.....LOL!
All around the inside of the temple were these stunning colourful Buddhas....each one holding something different....I was fascinated.....................
Here are some of the offerings set out beautifully...and that was real fruit...even snack bars....there was just soooooooooo much colour in there......we loved it!
We also walked around the CHINATOWN MARKET and spotted some very cheap clothes,scarves,etc.
Next time we visit SINGAPORE we hope to spend more time in both CHINATOWN and LITTLE INDIA...
Did you know that 9% of the SINGAPORE population are from INDIA ? I had no idea this was the case...and I really hadn't realised how close India really is to SINGAPORE and how the two countries have traded goods for many,many years......same as CHINA and SINGAPORE.
....... next week I'll be sharing pics from the NETHERLANDS.......CLOGS,etc....many different styles of Clogs....even Wedding Clogs....so I hope you'll join me....next Wednesday AUGUST 22nd.
xoxo
