Before heading to work on Monday morning, Ryan and I had all day on Sunday to explore. We chose to start with Chinatown.


Many shops in Chinatown sell all sorts of snacks. Barbecued pork is very popular, as are all sorts of packaged, dried snacks. For some reason, the fish rings just didn't appeal to me.


We spent quite a bit of time in the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. The roof-top gardens were my favorite, but the architecture and many sculptures were also fascinating.





After we left the temple, we went on to explore an indoor market. Quite different from Florence's Mercato Centrale. Those are huge fish heads in basket at the lower right of the photo. Steamed fish head is a very popular dish in Singapore. I did not indulge.



These guys aren't pets... they are lunch.
