Singapore- Little India part II

The main street of little India is Serangoon Road.  One one side of the street there were very fancy shiny shops selling gold, very nice Indian clothes, etc.  The shops were small but very nice.  Directly across the street the shops were dingy and selling cheaper stuff.  In fact one shop claimed to be the cheapest is Singapore.

Fancy

Not Fancy, but apparently cheap

Directly across the street from the Temple was a convenience store that had everything a worshiper at the temple would need.

Boys are Boys everywhere.  There was another Temple that had hundreds of pigeons in front of it.  A little boy about 8 would run through them.  he'd wait awhile until they all came back and do it again

After several hours it was time to go.  I needed to get back to the apartment as I promised my hostess I would give her a lesson in "American cooking".  We were planning beef stroganoff with beef from Australia.

 I found my way back to the MRT managing to get on going the right direction, to Punngol.  I made it back to the apartment only 10 minutes late.  I would have made it on time but when I got to the bus stop, bus 72 was there but had moved about 20 feet from the stop and wouldn't let me on.  No problem at this time of the day, the buses were coming about every ten minutes
