The old surrounded by the new. The Sri Krishnan Temple, surrounded by high-rise buildings. The colors are more vivid than shown here, and the figures intricate in the Hindu style. Move down past the building to the left by a few meters and you will be in front of the Singapore central Buddhist temple. Both are open and welcome guests. A note: all food vendors are certified and are safe, and all tap water is safe to drink. The only such place in the orient, for that matter, for most of the world.
