Tea Time in Little India

Jet lagged and the heat and humidity a little stifling. Still in order to sleep my first night I trucked to the Little India part of Singapore. http://www.littleindia.com.sg/ The smells of spice and jasmine garlands seem to blend in an exotic crescendo. Interspaced with little shops selling brassware, garlands and silk saris are food stalls poring curry scents into the air. Churches and mosques fill in the panorama. A much needed “Teh Tarik”, a hand pulled cup of tea is sipped as I try to count the many colors in the strings of jasmine garlands hung next to the stall. I plan on getting my future told by a parrot fortune teller. I can only assume that sleep is in my near future!
