Garden since tiancheng, wander from the heart (the impression Singapore law v)

This itinerary is seven days, but the day of departure is the new year and a half of the 11 p.m., but also takes up one day and finally back to Beijing at departure time is half past nine in the morning, the day is off to run to the airport, so the real experience of Singapore, also only a short period of five days, the image is sharp Singapore and vivid, I think and I stick with walking tours, select Backpack; also and I did not stay in a hotel a great relationship, thank you very much my friend, I prepared a few lines, as I recommend the Zoo and Jimmy Ritchie, but also a Western-style party.

Singapore bus and subway is always cool, thanks to friends back in the mail in the reminder: with a scarf, bus or subway nursing neck (friends are a careful person, every thought that'll give me a letter, letter letter are very useful, and only the airport free of charge phone into the table, with the facts, and apologize to me said: that is the new reform).

Later, I have a trip on the bus that took scarf, people see me, Singapore people seem both heat and cold resistant, do not know what to do next.

From the airport or black out days, sitting bored on the bus, I took out a pack of mints, prior knowledge of Singapore not welcome chewing gum, so I didn't dare to take the fear of traveling intraoral tasteless, specially with a Peppermint candy.

Let friends, friends hurry up waving: car cannot eat or drink something. See me carrying sugar, did not know what to do, and very considerate says: but you eat a piece of no one said you. Look, this is a Singapore-rational.

Junior another friend about our dinner, in the way of real Ricketts, Tao restaurant eat to the end, a waiter to each of us delivering a small party Red: fortune! have a friend go to the bathroom, he also carefully said: she comes back, I personally to her game.

A piece of gold coins of chocolate, is a little something from me, but just for the occasion, very interesting and, warmth than what fanquan, discount now.

At home, I am a friend of the guests, but her Grandma I left the night before, give me a Red Seal: first met them.

Photos of my age, have not received the red envelope, so for a while, should not know words and wish her elderly health and longevity. But a friend of her husband even gave me a real help, such as my friend said there is a central Sikh Temple, near the little India, specifically not a position, I was in the vicinity of little India did, and did not find the temple. A friend of her husband in the library looking for a long time to find a big this Atlas, I recommend Beijing such tourist city should do such a great map, opened, and then as a book, meticulous, every path, every building (or even every building flats) are marked out. Also help me out from the Sikh Temple, the nearest subway station is called Man Lai.

Outside, often let Shun turns car scare, but once the car is stopped, let me first, without exception, once I saw the car being Assistant driving seat should be shady bars at the same time made a gesture that please and domestic Shun turns car sure to grab the pedestrian crossing ridges between entirely different, quite flattered.

Singapore main road no crossing (only without traffic lights my way is the only pony, what cars are there to let pedestrians), a connection to the street light is a two-bar, all the red bar on pedestrian button (Beijing a few years ago also let some, now mostly a hole), wait until the green light is lit, tone up, we rapidly trot, actually, than Beijing world wide release of the green light on the road for a long time. Although Singapore car is really not much, at least no traffic jams, and cars are not rushing. When you see me sitting on the bus nervously at the bus stop and the map, a Chinese man who then asked where to go, and said that as early as a stop to look at the Presidential Palace to walk far to ride.

According to the Singapore Botanic Garden, the world's only two capitals can ten minutes by car or see the original forest, one of Rio de Janeiro South America, another is Singapore, it is easy to find.

Botanical Garden is located near the village of the Netherlands, it is said that this area is Villa area, and European descent are more inhabited, have such a place is designated a natural recreational area.

I did not like the Botanic Garden of the number of varieties of introduced plants, or something very, very rare scale plant to Singapore on such a small place, the Botanical Garden is very open, I didn't expect.

Vast meadows and natural growth of the trees everywhere, and not our habit of science education in the garden of carefully labeled and strict planning. Apart from travel car to travelers directly at destination — national mandai Orchid Garden, the Botanical Garden of Boardwalk is the exercise of the neighboring residents.

A diffuse overlying a grass slope, alone stood two trees, the species is not known, but know it into yin broad, well looked in the past, apart from the tall, again see the grass roots of freely with horns.

Think of the Peony Pavilion · dream "of a sentence: official get Megan met. I've never understood about what Megan meet, common tree are dry, branches, leaves, roots are in the ground, how do I see? this time use the Peony Pavilion · Garden "a word" suddenly play in spring go "and" suddenly "— suddenly understand: Southern rain much serious soil erosion, the root may reveal to reveal the root, the tree on the instability, increased long roots, which may expose more and more, I see that the child, is a review of the" official get Megan met ".

To the Botanical Garden, national mandai Orchid Garden no embarrassment, this is my first time in Singapore to enter the ticket.

Know the national flower is the Singapore orchids, but do not know is the Orchid flowers, I know, I know of no like orchids, Zhu de really orchids or hour at the Zhongshan Park seen in Tang Huawu, just remember the slender leaves, single valve white flowers, incense? should, in the Earth flavor huawu Tang, l. flavour, smell of flowers, and my sense of smell seems not very good, really do not know how of incense. On the understanding, in particular the fragrance, mostly from reading poetry.

Both to learn this will seriously: with orchids, Orchid Chinese orchids and ocean, and a little elegance for Bolero

The main demands of appreciation, while the latter, take large color, long flowering period, is best for viewing. Accurately, Singapore's national flower is the Orchid in something called "Lee Kam all generations" (Vanda Miss Joaguim), is a woman called Joaguim huntsinger, so-called trained Vanda Sanskrit from India, some say it is the Orchid, and some say is "hanging on the tree's Orchid", in short, transliterated "generations" fits the Chinese taste.

Vanda, why become "orchids"? according to a website that this word is Singapore Nanyang Academy of fine arts of the late President Mr. forestry big couple of Li Bai's "juvenile", "I set foot to swim? laugh-in these wine restaurant.

"The word" orchids "to match" Lee Kam all generations ", circulate, also have a say in the kind of flower names found by forestry big meaning distant sounds of two Chinese characters. This kind of "Zhuo-all generations" and my impression of orchids in a totally different, but the "orchids" variety, just like Singapore building like using a variety of gorgeous colors, "orchids" was rich colors, really some a coquettish, Orchid's representative.

Mandai Orchid Garden of English country is The National Orchid Garden, suddenly we took the bus to the way it is Orchard Road, Orchard Road is of English, the Orchard and Orchid also just as confused, bold, fearless, my ignorance of this Association is not know English, on the basis of their own heart by quite proud.

The same is the center of the jungle, Jimmy Ritchie cistern is characterized by water.

From the very Singapore "to see a lot of a reservoir, although that is China 's" reservoir "mean, but with" the word "reservoir, really make people feel is too small. Maybe a bit away from the city far, Jimmy Ritchie cistern are few, there is almost no tourists, exercise, and is running, and push ups. The surface is large, possibly near o'clock, the Sun is less toxic, and many articles on the water, original boat here or Singapore rowing team training base.

To this point, a friend recommended, because the mail exchanges, I asked some people mentioned on the Internet containing futabatei, temple name is soo much a, Japan soldiers, Nanyang sister's Japan's cemetery, a friend said to go there, I bring you the one others haven't seen graveyard, Jimmy Ritchie.

Jimmy Ritchie and forest to Sheng's Tomb, and the construction of the reservoir is a famous Chinese leader Chen sound contribution, it is worth a look.

In the early years of Singapore was located in the seaside draught is very difficult, from Malacca of Peranakan Chen sound suddenly out of some local water supply facilities built high, don't forget that was in the mid-19th century, some are worth it, unfortunately in Chen sound more than ten years after death before completing the Singapore history first reservoir construction.

I heard that his family is an anxious public good of family, Singapore River there to his grandson named bridge. 1882 in order to commemorate the contribution of Chen sound in Fullerton square (Fullerton Square) to establish sound fountain, Chen subsequently moved to the coastal park.

Lam Mo sheng's Tomb as we have just entered the Park, not far from a mountainside, the front is a flat field, several bundles with local characteristics between plants, green stems with red, a Latin text tombstones lay, a Chinese-language of the tombstone.

Simple, quiet, and at the southern end of the Esplanade Park there is a memorial to his landmark building is forest to Sheng Tower. "Army major-general forest martyrs ' Tomb of conspiracy to sheng," this is the official national Government delegate, on the top is one with the glasses young faces, and flexed military personnel are not.

According to records, the businessman's son, took over after returning from reading the fathers of the family business, but would go against the wind resistance movement, Japan South invasion, he assisted the British army during the war.

After the fall of Singapore, he was in India get sixty new horse youth receive special training in composition behind enemy lines assaulting Vanguards of Malaya. Even personally by Allied submarines dive back into the forest leadership of Malaya, guerrilla, unfortunately were overwhelmed by the Japanese army arrest, torture in prison, tragic death, die before the age of 35. His deeds in Singapore elementary school textbooks, but finally said he has a lot of children, this should be the Chinese mind maximum comfort.

Jimmy Ritchie cistern school nature, not as we imagine in cement tank, particularly one boom gates stack water Pong tree, serpentine, fully some kilometers away we have dozens of minutes, and constantly running from behind us or head-on, see my friends with a camera pointing, ask whether you want to help us take a picture.

Finally, at the end the wood stack and then follow the water erosion too hard dirt, came to the Office before the tomb of a friend.

Quite typical of southern Fujian mountains--Tomb, surface water, the water may be the original not so, the water cistern, built into the Tomb, flooded visible this tomb 100 years no one care.

Tombstone across broken into two, on half may be abandoned to the ground after some years, to be frame has been writing is not very clear, so the year can not see, but the lower section of the "February 24," it is clear that in the same way, the most important line can only read: xx xx too tombs sheyang doors fan's Tomb. It is "buried bones why mankind, where life is not green. ”

Home talking about it, friends, Grandma said: forest House port there is a lot of Chinese tomb.

It is said that in Singapore, Cantonese, Chiu Chow, Hakka, Hainan, each dialect groups have their own grave-Hill. For example, the coffee mountain buried in Fujian, Bristol shanting buried is Cantonese. The famous Orchard Road shopping street, was the cemetery of Chaozhou. Later, in order to regain the lead in planning urban, Lee Kuan Yew moved his father's grave.
