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.
Other residents had a great experience at Singapore's Food Playground on prior visits, so we wanted to try it out! Our first day in Port, twelve of us signed up for a fun afternoon, where we got to enjoy our creations as a yummy lunch. Front row (L to R) is Ellie, Rick, their visiting friend, Sue, Christy and Angela. Back Row - Me, Bosco, Delia, John, Terri & Lori.
We just relaxed on the Island of Koh Chang, Thailand. It's one of the largest Thai Islands in the Gulf of Thailand and it has a dense, steep jungle & National Park covering the interior of the Island, which extends off shore, to coral reefs. The coast line is dotted with beaches and villages. This was a tender port, so we decided to stay on the Island for 3 nights, to be able to experience the nightlife. Turns out, it is low season, so nightlife was pretty sleepy. However, we did find a new favorite night time activity! Any Guesses?!?
Love Sea Days ! I got a much needed haircut and color. Think I'll be going shorter, but giving this a whirl! Can you see the back in the mirror? The bangs and side volume, is what drives me nuts in the heat and humidity!
