• Singapore Day 3

    March 17, 2024, Singapore Strait ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    Last half day in Singapore, and Morris stopped for selfies, (LOL). We decided to quickly visit India Street, where vibrant colors could be seen on buildings and in the stalls with fabrics, produce, and flowers.

    Went to Merlion Park to see the Lion fountain. The Merlion is the official mascot of Singapore. It is depicted as a mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish and it welcomes all visitors to Singapore.

    Singapore is 70% Buddhist, 13% Hindu, 10% Muslim, 7% Christain. The main reason Singapore split from Malaysia was because PM Yew (1965-1990) wanted to have a country that allowed all religions, had cultural diversity, and was inclusive to all. Malaysia is predominantly Muslim.

    Last stop - getting a Singapore Sling at the rooftop of the Surf Board Sky Park Lavo Bar. What a view!

    Job well done PM Yew......what a beautiful country!!!
