On the way back from our last trip to New Zealand we had a few hours to kill in Singapore - so took one of the free coach tours of Singapore on offer at the airport.
The tour included a stop at the Thian Hock Keng temple which is one of the most important Hokkien temples in Singapore . The proximity of the different styles of architecture - including temples, colonial and very modern buildings - was one of the most striking aspects of this sadly short visit, which is abundantly clear from this picture taken at the Thian Hock Keng temple.
