SRI MARIAMMAN TEMPLE
From the airport, we took the train bound to Chinatown where our hostel is near. We exited the station in the middle of Pagoda Street going to the South Bridge Road when I saw Sri Mariamman Temple.

We all know that Singapore is a multicultural country dominated by Chinese, Indians and Malays so I took advantage of visiting their house of worship. I came across Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum while wandering around the Chinatown District of Singapore.
