Monks amok downtown
OK, maybe not running amok, but certainly off the reservation. I think I’ve mentioned that you frequently bump into Buddhist monks in electronics stores in Singapore, shopping for cellphones and stuff. Well, here are a couple (the men in orange) taking pictures of each other outside the Fullerton Hotel – on the River Walk downtown, just across from the Asian Civilizations Museum. The odd shadow on the wall above the water is a bronze sculpture of boys diving for coins, which apparently they used to do in the picturesque bad old days.
