Puzzled over what to do over this long weekend? Perhaps, take a cue from Ordinary Guy

and visit the heart of old Singapore at Telok Ayer, where, besides the grand Thian Hock Keng Temple, you’ll find the beginnings of Singapore, even before Raffles’ arrival in 1819.

Read about the influence of the Malay, Indian and Chinese communities and how they left their mark in Telok Ayer. Telok Ayer’s a great starting point for a walkabout through the historic Chinatown district, and there’s even a map to help you plan your way.
