Images of Singapore - Week 1

Selected pictures from my first week in Singapore

Colorful Singapore.

The Singapore Sling, a sweet and fruity cocktail invented at the Raffles Hotel.

Part of the wall outside the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore. Built in the late 1800s, the temple is dedicated to the goddess Kali.

The city skyline and the lights reflected in the river.

Chinatown at night.

A creative statue on the river. The climbing mercury made me want to emulate them, but the dirty river water ensured that I stayed dry.

Sir Stamford Raffles, who is credited with turning Singapore into the major port city it is today (and the man for whom the famous Raffles Hotel is named).

An ornate Buddha in the Asian Civilizations Museum in Singapore.
