Chinatown Singapore – part III

[Part I, Part II]

The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple is not shown in my 2005/06 Singapore street atlas. Upon checking on the Internet, I understand that the temple, located at the island republic’s Chinatown, was only built in 2005. It was completed in early 2007.

    The temple is quite new. Any pic of the relic?

    I do not know how to say 'I'm a Berliner' in German either. I think I must pay more attention in class haha
