Old Chinese woman

Old Chinese woman
I liked the way this photo came out. The old woman's face tells of a long, hard life. At first I wasn't happy about the background which is a box containing some kind of beauty product. However, I think that the contrast between the face of the old woman and the picture of the young girl on the box works quite well.

The Little India area of Singapore is vibrant and colourful.

Festivals

Because of the ethnic diversity in Singapore there are festivals going on year round. Check locally to see what is going on while you are there. On 2 out of 3 occasions I have been to Singapore I have seen the Hindu Thaipusam festival. Unfortunately on my last trip I had to leave just before Chinese New Year which looked as if it would be a lot of fun.

 Pretty interesting travel page and insight into visiting Singapore--I had heard about the no spitting campaign--also no bubble gum.

 I'm so touched! You wrote down all those amusing musings from the base of my monument. If I was not a statue I'd march down Arab Street during Thaipusam Festival wearing a Bin Laden T-shirt and Union Jack shorts.
