Today was a compromise between seeing the historic little India district and browsing the brand new shopping district. We started with the Little India district. The first temple was undergoing major renovations and was very crowded with a major festival going on. The festival included a meal at the temple and families were sitting and eating all over the floor. I would have joined the food line but I didn’t know if Christians were allowed. So after a short visit we headed for the second temple on our list. The second temple was much more spacious and quiet. We wandered for a while and then Joan and Barb headed for the shopping district while I stayed behind and took pictures. The temples in Singapore have signs posted telling visitors when to remove shoes, where and when pictures are allowed and where visitors are not allowed. All signs are in English so this makes for a very comfortable visit.
In the evening we dined at a cheese and chocolate restaurant. The restaurant is situated at the top of a 3-tower building with a boat on top. We were able to wander around the “boat” and enjoy the views of Singapore at night. I was a model of decorum at dinner and I kept it down to 3 plates of cheese and 2 plates of chocolate tidbits.
