One of the most interesting places you can explore in Singapore is Serangoon Road in Little India. You can get here using the subway . I have never been to India but I imagine this place is very similar. It is filled with people , stores and restaurants. I would recommend visiting in the day time and at night if you have the time . When we went it was near Deepavali as such Serangoon Road was lit up ….

It is set up beautifully and is very diverse. Usually the food made in mass…
