Flower Dome

-------------------------

We did the flower dome. Honestly I didn't quite enjoy this dome, the temperature inside was the best part. I have personally been to botanical gardens and you see the same flower and plans in and out. The most interesting part which I wish we got to see, understand more of was the science that would have to go into keeping the dome at a certain temperature for the plants to grow which there is 100's of people coming in and out that could alter the conditions inside.
It is beautiful.

Gardens by the Bay

-------------------------

We choose to meet up with the family at 2pm at the Gardens by the bay.
So naturally we got to see the iconic metal trees. Unfortunately we could not walk underneath them as there was Winter Wonderland festival on and there was no option to purchase tickets at the door to enter. We walked quite fast thru the garden towards to the domes so that we can go into the flower dome and the cloud forrest.

Buddhist Temple - Singapore

-------------------------

Our frist day in Singapore we ended up walking around Chinatown where we came across one of the biggest temples in Singapore. The building stands tall between other models skyscrapers.

-------------------------

-------------------------

As you walk in you are welcomed with a big incense bowl at the big entrance, into the temple. You can see the big buddha instantly surrounded by what seems to feel like 1000's of tiny buddhas. We came to the conclusion that each tiny buddha was either bought and/or represented but a family who placed it there or bought a spot. Each tiny buddha had a number so I'm sure many can easily find it. 

------------------------- 

-------------------------

Before we leave we choose to light some incense for good measure. Anthony took one for him while I asked E to grab one for me while I document it. What melts me is that the incense we grabbed for him and myself were stuck together. If that isn't a signs of our life then I don't know what is.    

-------------------------

-------------------------

The Temple is 3 stories high and at the very top there is this beautiful peaceful garden where you can walk around and take in the peacefulness of life here at the temple. Your still surrounded by tiny buddhas.
