During the two-and-a-half years of this journey, there have been many, many fine people that we've met. So, periodically, we've posted about those encounters. Unfortunately, it has been way too long since the last time we've acknowledged the pleasure of meeting fellow travelers and locals.. We are about to remedy that with this posting from Singapore. Since a number of people didn't want their names included with their photos, we decided not to include any names in this presentation. While on our way to Chinatown, we took this selfie of fellow travelers. Thanks to my friend Rob, we were able to hook up with part the Singapore Dell/EMC team. One of our favorite documentaries is "The Journey of Man" which describes the population of the world and how so many groups are related to each other. Along that line, this was amazing! We would've sworn this professional photographer we met at the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple was Native American. In actuality, he is Chinese. Restaurants are one of our favorite places to meet folks, such as this mother and son on the edge of Chinatown. During the Chinese New Year celebrations along the waterfront, we got to enjoy the company of this fellow traveler. These three exchange students from France were exploring the National Museum of Singapore at the same time we were. The folks at the Sri Thendayyuttapani temple, such as this family, were very helpful in explaining their religious practices. Two weeks after our first meeting, we had the pleasure of meeting the rest of the Dell/EMC team. While visiting the Botanical Gardens, we came across this fellow traveler who has been touring the world for the past five years... ...as well as this group from Germany. While walking near city hall, this fellow's tee shirt caught our attention, so we stopped to talk. He has been living in Singapore for the past three years, while playing professional basketball. We happened to come across the Thaipusam Hindu festival when we had the chance to talk to these two women. We loved our time in Singapore...
