Chinatown in Singapore
Chinatown in Singapore is not just, as the card says, a place to shop and eat, but it's also an area with considerable cultural and historical significance, to the extent that it has been declared a national heritage site. Its existence was first recorded in 1330 which makes it one of the oldest Chinatowns and now one of the largest.

Don't you love all that red? I do!
ReplyDeleteI love it, yes. I think it means good luck, I'm not entirely sure.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and architecture
ReplyDeleteWow...1330...amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh, I've been there!!! I've actually visited Singapore several times...I love it - except that it is on the equator and toooooooo hot!! It's a spotlessly clean city, filled with orchids and wonderful outdoor centers where you can eat every kind of food imagineable, until 3AM in the morning.
ReplyDeleteNeat card!
