Return to Singapore’s Little India

Some how this area of Singapore always draws me back. The lively atmosphere at night and the colourful buildings by day are a plus, but the real reason is Komola Vilas.

Kuaotunu Reserve

The Coromandel Coast’s Kuaotunu Reserve fringed the beach on the southern edge of Whangapoua. A grove of pohutukawa trees were bent and twisted from years of extreme weather conditions.

Calgary’s Inglewood

Now surpassing 17^th Avenue for shops to browse, Inglewood’s main drag has a variety of fashion shops with clothing not found in the big name stores. There are kitchen, rugs, and other artsy stores to meander through.

Melbourne’s Immigration Museum

This museum was situated in the old Custom’s House. The stately building was an added bonus with its decorative touches; especially in the long room. This was where customs agents once came to pay duty on imported goods.

Cypress Creek

I was surprised by the amount of water rushing between boulders under sixty metre tall trees, yet Cypress Creek was only considered a creek. The sound of rushing water could be heard from almost everywhere in this North Vancouver park.

Heliconia Walk

According to the sign in Singapore’s Botanic Gardens, Heliconias were related to both ginger and banana plants. The leaves were alike, but that was where their similarity ended.

Coromandel Township

Someone told me they weren’t impressed with this country town, but I had to disagree. I thought its buildings had character.
