Di ritorno .... con tanta nostalgia
Back home ...with some nostalgia
Matteo and I went to Singapore, just a red dot on the map
Ma così pieno di meraviglie !!
But bursting full of wonders !!
Questa è la Haw Par villa, costruita tra gli anni 20 e 30 a scopo educativo per la popolazione che non sapendo leggere aveva così la possibilità di conoscere i miti e le leggende
This is Haw Par villa, built between 20' and 30' with an educational purpose for the people who , being unable to read, could thus learn miths and legends
I fratelli Aw Boon Haw e Aw Boon Par sono diventati ricchi con la produzione del Tiger Balm e volevano diffondere i valori tradizionali cinesi
Brothers Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par became rich with Tiger Balm and wanted to spread the traditional Chinese values
Questi sono i Guardiani dell'Inferno di cui vi risparmio le foto perchè le statue sono MOLTO realistiche ...ehm ehm
These are the Hell Guardians, I shall not show you pics because the statues are FAR too much realistic ....uhm uhm..
E poi ci sono io :o)
Di certo non una meraviglia ma vedermi sotto forma di brochure al chiosco del Trishaw Uncle dopo 5 anni mi fa un certo effetto
And then there is me :o)
Not a wonder for sure but looking at myself disguised as a brochure at Trishaw Uncle booth after 5 years is a bit startling
Nei giorni in cui siamo stati a SG si preparava il Deepavali, la festa delle luci
When we were in SG they were putting up the Deepavali, the feast of lights
E si festeggiava anche il Mid Autumn festival Cinese :o))
And Chinese Mid Autumn Festival as well :o))
Con lanterne e mooncakes ( questo sarà un capitolo a parte)
With lanterns and mooncakes ( this will be another chapter)
Ho detto lanterne ????
Did I say lanterns ???
E poi la tecnologia !! il mio museo preferito !!
And then tecnology !! My favourite museum !!
Art and Science Museum
E verde ...... verde ..... verde ..... lussureggiante ovunque !!
And green .... green..... green .... lush green everywhere
E vita ! And life !!!
Anche se solo riprodotta
Even if it's a still life
Non male per un Puntino Rosso ;o)
Not too bad for a Red Dot ;o)
