July 3, 2013 in inspiring places
We spent a day exploring the temples and markets of Chinatown, a large area in Singapore, where we felt totally immersed in a different culture. We were all enthralled by the tranquility of the temples, the smells of incense, local people worshipping and the bright colours and patterns all around us. I was drawn to photograph the details, colours, illustrations and shapes and hopefully they give a little glimpse into this amazing place.
The markets were full of interesting objects, fans, instruments, beads and strung overhead with lanterns. We embraced the Chinese food halls and queued with locals for delicious savoury main courses and fruit smoothies blended in front of us. Wonderful combinations of dragon fruit with kiwi, mango and passion fruit, watermelon, strawberry and rose and sugarcane with lime. We became quite adventurous in our choices which the children loved and the colours of these juices were spectacular.
Lovely photos, they awake in me the desire to go back to far east for some holidays soon. Thanks
Images are very lovely. Chinatown is a good place to start a journey. While going through this blog, I was so much fascinated that I decided to include it on the top of my list. Thanks for sharing the information.
I am so glad I stumbled upon your site, thank you for an all round inspiring blog. (I also like the design).
