Travel Buddy

Thursday, Oct. 12 - Singapore

After a few weeks on my own, I flew to Singapore to meet up with Marc, with whom I'll be travelling for a while. We went back to Little India, for some tasty murtabak from the food stalls there. The holiday of Deepavali is coming up soon, so the main road through the neighborhood is decorated with elaborate, colorful lights and peacock figurines. Sidestreets have been transformed into bustling street markets, which press in on all of your senses with thumping music, the smells of spices and sweets, and colorful handicrafts.

I have no idea what Deepavali is all about, if anyone cares to inform me, please do.
