Chinatown



The Nova Scotia delegation is all here. 3/4 of us went to Chinatown today with another exchange student for the purpose of engaging in the fine arts of gluttony and shopping.



I'm not going to show you the food right now; that deserves its own post, and I'll get on that next/soon. But Food Street is basically one big, open-air hawker centre.



This is the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, which Lonely Planet informed me holds a ceremony every day at 7:30 to open the chamber and display the Buddha Tooth Relic, but alas. Nothing but a gorgeous building and some tourists taking pictures of it. So I settled for some mangosteens and a coconut.
