Tiger Balm Gardens

Fifteen years ago, Mateo and I came to Singapore on our honeymoon. I remember watching some happy school kids on a bus and saying to Mateo, "one day I want to live here with my kids." And here we are! One thing we visited in 1996 was the Tiger Balm Gardens (now called Haw Par Villa). This park has over 1000 statues and 150 dioramas from folklore and legends of Chinese mythology. There is now a museum about the migration of Chinese people throughout the world. With an artistic Grammy in town, I thought this was an appropriate colorful place to take her to. Niko LOVED all the animal statues, and the one-on-one time with us while the kids were at school.
