Visit to Singapore in May 2007.
Went to The PC Show 2007 and also a Book Exhibition. Also went to the Singapore Zoo and got to see the celebrations of Vesak Festival (Buddhist) happening around that time.
Singapore (Chinese: 新加坡; pinyin: Xīnjiāpō; Malay: Singapura; Tamil: சிங்கப்பூர், Cingkappūr), (Republic of Singapore), is an island city-state located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, lying 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator, south of the Malaysian state of Johor and north of Indonesia's Riau Islands. At 710.2 km2 (274.2 sq mi), Singapore, a microstate and the smallest nation in Southeast Asia, is by orders of magnitude larger than Monaco, San Marino, Andorra and Vatican City, the only other surviving sovereign city-states. The population of Singapore is approximately 4.86 million. Since independence, Singapore's standard of living has risen dramatically. Foreign direct investment and a state-led drive to industrialization have created a modern economy focused on industry, education and urban planning.

On 30th May, 2007, The Buddha Tooth Relic temple which is the biggest Buddhist temple in Singapore was re-opened after renovation. The temple is dedicated to Maitreya Buddha, and it houses the Sacred Buddha Tooth Relic.
Singapore's Chinatown is an ethnic neighbourhood featuring distinctly Chinese cultural elements and a historically concentrated ethnic Chinese population although it also houses many other religious places such as the Hindu Sri Mariamman Temple and Jamae Mosque.
