Hello guys, this is the first time that I've ever written an article about culture. As I am Chinese, I've decided to write about Taoism, a religion that is practiced by many Chinese people in Singapore. The biggest Taoism event is mainly held in the temple and during such an event, one gets to see a big crowd comprised of both young and old people. It is held on the birthday of a particular deity.

Careful! Don't sit on that theater seat, it's occupied! We know...you can't tell at first glance, but that's because Lui Bolin isn't just any old human being, but a chameleon! And though his changing colors takes much longer than the lizard (10 hours to be exact) he'll steal their show any day!

Chinatown is a place filled with Chinese culture, Chinese people, food, buildings etc. It is an important and favourite place for Chinese people who have been living overseas especially in western countries. It is where they find Chinese cuisine which they miss, streets with Chinese-inspired decorations (red lanterns, small God altars and many more) and most importantly, people of the same race. I would like to introduce a place in Chinatown (Singapore) and it is a must-see location. It is the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple which was built in 2007 and located in Temple Street.

There is a very well known Kuan Yin (观音) Bodhisattva, the Goddess of Mercy's temple in Singapore and it is located in Waterloo Street. The name of the temple is Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple. It was built in 1884 and reconstructed in 1895. It is one of the oldest temples in Singapore. It was then reconstructed again in 1982 so as to increase their capacity for worshipers as there is an ever increasing number of worshipers over the years.

On a fine afternoon, I was walking around hoping to find a suitable spot for shooting. I walked and walked and saw a row of houses in the middle of some high-rise estates. So I made my way closer to have a clearer view. I fell in love with it at first sight and decided to take some shots there.
