Chinatown especially, as we are familiar with India.<br /><br />You missed an opportunity to have lunch at one of the famous hawker stalls. In the midst of all that fierce non veg stuff, there is usually one stall that sells vegetarian (actually vegan) stuff. That is strictly veg and makes for a nice experience. Have to bear all the smell around though !!Rameshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782192840421019943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-69140497265141921692014-08-01T04:59:57.035-07:002014-08-01T04:59:57.035-07:00yes, it is a cheaper version of big bazaar. i thin...yes, it is a cheaper version of big bazaar. i think it was famous once upon a time as a one stop shop.<br /><br />yes, they showcase any 200 year old stone or fossil and flaunt it with pride by charging a bomb.<br />I too believe our rich history is not showcased properly, i also feel most of us indians lack knowledge of our own history. it has infact became a matter of pride and fashion to write lowly about india by indians.

Even I saw some places in Singapore which were quite dirty, and was surprised by it.They don't have much to,except what they have created, like for example our cooum is left to remain a eyesore, whereas theirs has been turned into a tourist attraction.We have the ability of turning heritage sites into coom: for that is our speciality. There they make money out of nothing.<br />The pictures are beautiful.Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-32667056756261947492014-07-30T23:13:59.304-07:002014-07-30T23:13:59.304-07:00Singapore is a nice blend of old and new.
