Kristin and I travelled throughout China Town and the Financial District of Singapore in a Trishaw! This is similar to a rickshaw; however, it requires "pedal power" in the form of a bicycle. We had a Chinese driver that spoke very little English so we enjoyed the breeze and scenery of this colorful part of Singapore. We were followed by fifteen or so other Trishaws with our friends from Travel+Leisure. It was a perfect way to navigate the narrow streets where the shop vendors could show their wares. Several continued on foot to shop and some to visit the Buddhist Temple or to feast on the famous "chicken-rice" dish.
After a tour of the city, we boarded a "bum boat" to take in the view of this vibrant city and coastal area on the Singapore River. We terminated our cruise at the Fullerton Heritage area where the infamous Merlion statue is positioned. This area draws more than a million visitors each year.
