CHINATOWN

This is an energic and busy section of Singapore. Market day seems to run 24/7 and Temple Street where I stayed at The Inn a few years ago, was crowded with shoppers. Not only this street, but others as well, where price haggling was a sport. And bargains are plentiful. Imagine getting 36 of anything for $10, which is about $7.50 USD.

As a backdrop are the beautifully preserved houses, 2-stoies in height, many painted in pastel colors. The shuttered windows stand out and are unique to Chinatown.
