Ok this has nothing at all to do with the Chinese Gardens, except that this truck was in the parking lot with the driver taking a nap. This is such a common sight in Singapore that I had to take a photo! Most days you can spot groups of workers lying in the grass, on the concrete, under a tree, anywhere and everywhere taking an afternoon nap! Most of them are from Bangaladesh or India, they have come over here to find work and live in dormitory type housing. It's also not uncommon to see them with their arms around each other walking down the street, or sitting close together-even sharing a bicycle -they are not gay, they are just very open about displaying their friendships!
Beautiful temple at the waters edge
The gardens were perfectly manicured and some bushes were shaped into dragons
The sign says this is MULAN.....could it be Mulan from the Disney movie? :)
Check out the tiny little bananas growing at the top!
This is the Bonsai Garden
Chinese soldiers are very popular here
Confucius!
Chinese Gardens with the Singapore skyline in the distance
Love those Chinese lanterns! The color red is everywhere in Singapore. This was the entrance to the turtle display (home of the giant freshwater turtle, not too exciting)
My friend Debbi and I by the rainbow bridge
I'm not real crazy about Buddha statues in general, but I do like the "happy Buddhas" in all their poses :)
