Little India is a neighborhood in Singapore that I wanted to explore becase I love Indian food and their Temple's have such unique gods and Architecture, super colorful and detailed. Below is the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, Singapore's first temple dedicated to Veeramakaliammam or the Kali, a fierce incarnation of Shiva's wife and the"Destroyer of Evil" .
I am looking forward to getting to India later this year and learning all about this culture!
I asked the Indian nurse, I had just met with at a local Dermatologist office, if she could recommend a good restaurant, in the neighborhood. She said Anjappar is where all the locals go, we went and It was so yummy! Bosco &I split a butter chicken dish and each got our favorite Naans!
We walked the neighborhood trying to take in more of the unique culture, but it is very chaotic and busy with people all over.I liked the old storefronts that have been preserved, there is mural art and statues every where you look.
Cambodia was so lovely. I want to go back and show you all the days pre-eviction . We arrived late afternoon & were greeted at the Port by local performers & music, the Ministry of Tourism and were presented handmade scarf gifts.
October has been a bit of a blur! My last post from Thailand , was about medical treatment and I'm happy to report all good; pathology negative and I'm healing nicely. What I haven't posted about, is what has been going on in the background of my fantastic voyage around the world . You have probably already seen a lot of news coverage and social media post and sorry I have done none. I have been busy weighing options, the logistics ( visas ugh! ) and gathering my things: organizing, weighing, purging, repacking, weighing again and flying. Below is my attempt of the short version, from my point of view and a map of area (and my quick stops) for reference.
This Blog is more than a journal of my travels around the world, it's a major memory tool for me in documenting all the events along the way. You often ask me how we take care of medical things, as we travel non stop and today is a perfect example. A fellow resident had posted on one of our WhatsApp groups ( this is the main way we all- residents, crew and stateside support all communicate ) that she had an excellent contact for anyone looking to get medical appointments in the Pattaya / Bangkok area.
