Another early start to explore Little India. First stop Sri Veeramakaliamman temple then the largest mosque in Sgp, Sultan Mosque. Pagoda street in Chinatown with it's colourful buildings, lively atmosphere and street stalls. I passed by the Chinatown heritage centre and the gopuram (tower) of Sri Mariamman temple with its decorated flowers and deities. I took the MRT up to Kranji war memorial. I was dying of thirst and after getting a drink from the vending machine, I realised I had to sit outside the station in order to consume it! The memorial houses the graves of allied troops who died during WWII and almost 25,000 men and women's' names are inscribed on the walls. Raffles Hotel and museum, synonymous with luxury, was the final stop.
Pros: so safe, cheap clothes and electronics. Cons: Possibly too much shopping, rules ( no eating or drinking on MRT, fines for not using pedestrian crossings, smoking, dropping litter, chewing gum...)
