Singapore,
the stunning centrepiece of southeast Asia, is a cultural pot pourri
that leaves the unsuspecting visitor dazzled by the containment of so
many influences upon one small island.


Singapore
is a thriving city-state that has overcome its dearth of natural resources
to become one of the juggernaut economies of Asia. In the very crowded
streets of Chinatown, calligraphers, fortune tellers and temple worshippers
are still a part of singaporian life. In Little India, you can buy the
best sari material, freshly ground spices or a picture of your favourite
Hindu god. In the small shops of Arab St, the cry of the imam can be
heard from the nearby Sultan Mosque.

LITTLE
INDIA
Singapore's Little India, bounded by Serangoon Road and Jalan Besar,
is a very impressive imitation of the real thing. Unlike much of the
rest of the city, where people drive home in BMWs to their tower block
apartments to spend quiet evenings indoors, in Little India everybody
is outside at night. People sit or stand almost anywhere, chatting
animatedly. The intensity of sights, sounds, and smells make this
area one of the highlights of a Singapore visit.
