A fondness for reading, properly directed, must be an education in itself.

Back to our Murals Monday regular programming.

We are now going to explore some of the murals around Little India for the next few weeks.

Little India neighborhood in Singapore has quite a few murals and it has become a prime area for street arts largely thanks to the ArtWalk, an annual arts festival.

A Ride Through Race Course Road (by Jaxton Su with the help of migrant workers and students). The 20m mural shows a racehorses galloping thoroughly crowded traditional Indian street market. The murals tell you how this road got its name, from the nearby Farrer Park area that used to be a horse traveling track.

We are back in Singapore because there is no place like home to ring in the New Year but as we lazy out at the apartment here’s a last picture of the sunset from Patong Beach, Phuket, Thailand. Five great days spent by the pool/beach, playing games and bonding as a family of 4 again for a little while

. And because we wouldn’t be in Southeast Asia if there weren’t a picture of a local tuktuk. Fancy tuktuk they have in Phuket. Let go see what Patong Beach is all about.

This is one of my all time favorite view of the valley.

You can see the Alps range (Chartreuse, Belledome & Vercors) and the city of Grenoble in the far. And I can only imagine the change of seasons.

I wouldn’t mind waking up to this 😉

But for now I just went to see it one last time this year before starting my journey back to Singapore but with a little stop over in Paris before.

Marina Bay Sands itself.

I’ve tried to get a few different angles from the last time I was here.
