Kampong Glam

Farhan, with the Glam Tree in his background. The Glam Tree is renown for its medicinal value.

Isn't the mosque beautiful from this angle?

The visit to the mosque taught us about some of the practices of our Muslim friends. We learnt about the 5 pillars of Islam and their prayer timing.


The Palace Grounds.

At the Sultan's Palace.

On the road again.

Remember, DON'T STAND IN THE BUS!

I love my hat!!!

Can you spot the Raffles statue?

Our class had a great time by the Singapore River and at Kampong Glam. We visited the place where Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore, landed. The buildings were so 'colonial' and yet they had a modern touch. My favourite building is the Victoria Memorial Hall. It looks so majestic! We took some nice photos with the scenic background.

At Kampong Glam, we visited the Sultan's Palace and a mosque. What I enjoyed most was the delicious Nasi Padang that I had at a street corner restraunt. The sambal belachan was 'pedas'!

I hope that many of you learnt about Malay Culture from this Heritage Tour.

We smelt some perfumes.

Tasted some food.

Felt some Malay/Arab fabrics.
And saw many buildings like the mosque and palace!
