Our Reflection.
To sum it all up, it was really an eye-opening experience for us. Little India as we know it it just filled with colourful saris, intriguing hennas and spicy desserts. And as the name itself mentions, we assume everything there is all that has to do with the Indian culture.
Sadly mistaken, we found many other races whose prominent building reside in heart of that little area.
Not recently built too, but during colonial times. Certainly the different religious sites made us curious to why the buildings situated there.
On this trail that we’ve embarked on, it was definitely just more than interesting.
Never did we knew that the streets were all named after a significant individual who made their own contributions to Singapore.
At certain parts of the trail, we did feel as though we were tourist instead of proudly saying "Oh I know this!" =D
And we can only be glad that certain historical values of this little area has been preserved for the next generations to learn about.
Despite the scorching sun, the smell of curry and the lingering throng of people, we’ve enjoyed ourselves and at the end of the day learnt more about the culture that this unique situated right in our homeland Singapore. =]
