 Little India by phil_uk_net I love the diversity of Singapore. Parts of it are just like any big Western city but travel 10 minutes on the MRT and you can imagine you have been transported to the Indian sub-continent or China.
Walking around the ethnic areas watching how people live their lives and make a living. Leave a Comment

 Street markets in Little India... by Cabana_Boy Little India is definitely one of my favorite areas in Singapore…the sights, sounds and smells are like nowhere else in Singapore, a true cultural oasis in this vast mega-metropolis. I can spend hours walking around the small neighborhood because the people are absolutely fascinating and the life in the streets is so energetic... The markets are alive with people morning, noon and night and there always seems to be music playing… Leave a Comment

 Spices in Little India by phil_uk_net Words and pictures are not suitable for this memory - we need Smellovision! Walking around Little India one day, I smelt the most fragrant aroma and it stopped me in my tracks. I looked inside the small shop and saw a number of large grinding machines where fresh spices were being ground, ready to be added to Indian dishes. The smell was heavenly. Leave a Comment

by yuet29 Almost all of the Indian in Singapore can understand and speak english, but their mother tounge is Tamil. There are also some with malay mother tounge. Tamil are widely spoken in South India and below listed some common vocab. Just to share these words since I am taking basic Tamil class in school.. vanakkam - Hello/good morning/good afternoon/good evening/good night.. nanri- thank you ama- yes illai- no itu enna velli- this one how much en- me nan- I un- your ni- you venum- want ventum- dont want teriyum- know teriyatu- dont know enakku koli coru venum- to me, chicken rice wanted (weird right? there is not 'I want chicken rice' in Tamil) After a semester of classes, I found that Tamil is a very hard to learn language, harder than english, chinese or malay at least. There are different word for I eat, you eat, she eats,he eats, it eats, they eat... the categories involved are more than in english he/she/it and I/ you/we/they. Leave a Comment
