Singapore, in Chinatown

My previous Chinatown experience was in San Francisco, and that was interesting as San Francisco has a Chinese history all its own. The essential difference, or the most notable difference between the SF Chinatown and Singapore's (aside from the latter's being a bit redundant) is the cleanliness of Singapore's. There are other differences to be sure, but that's what struck me hardest--of course Singapore, jokingly referred to as a "fine city", makes every effort to remain a relatively spotless city. We also ventured to Little India on that first day and here we saw Hindu temple. We were told, by no less of an authority as J.'s Hindu friend, that we could enter the temple but both of us lacked the necessary temerity and neithor of us wanted to risk offending anyone--we were later told that we needn't have worried. So, we simply gawked from the doorway.

This is one shot of Chinatown. More later.
