Things to do while in Little India | Garlands for Sale, Little India |
This is Singapore at its most authentic and exotic. Less sterile than Chinatown, Little India promises a colourful array of sights, sounds and smells that is guaranteed to enthrall you for hours. Just make sure you do these things while you're here ... |
|  | Buy a symbol of love, peace and purity Watch garland weavers join red, yellow and white roses into a circular symbol of love, peace and purity . |
| A little girl learns how to pick green with daddy |
| | Pick greens with the locals Plunge into a sea of green next and watch the locals as they pick out their greens with expertise. |
| Meal on a leaf, Komala Villas |
| | Eat a curry meal with your hands After all that activity, have a curry meal with rice on a banana leaf with your hands! |
| | Have a cuppa with a difference Watch a waiter 'pull' a string of milky brown tea ( teh - tarik ) for you. |
| Tight squeeze, provision shop, little india |
| | Buy Spices and Curry Powder Squeeze into a notoriously narrow shop to buy delicious curry powder. |
| | Walk into a Saree Shop Look at rainbow-coloured silk Sarees and watch the hustle and bustle of local bargaining. |

Hello Glen, Outstanding pages. Thanks for the virtual tour. Tomas Eriksson :) | bxf Sun Aug 23, 2009 19:20 UTC
Why would anybody quote a price in a currency other than the one in use locally? Firstly, the entire world is not American. Secondly, exchange rates fluctuate, so a figure in a foreign currency is useless. | bijo69 Tue Nov 4, 2008 12:05 UTC
Great tips Glen! Looking forward to my visit to Singapore!!! | bpacker Fri Aug 22, 2008 11:01 UTC
