Our hosts at the Singapore University of Technology and Design told us that three small temples on the university grounds were donated by Jackie Chan. No one seemed to know why they were donated or what their significance was other than being associated with Jackie Chan.

We made it to the Singapore University of Technology and Design to meet with colleagues involved in the SUTD-MIT International Design Centre. We also went over the the National University of Singapore on another day for meetings there.
Our hotel had good views of downtown Singapore. The Ferris wheel, the hotel with the pool on the roof, and the flower greenhouses all could be seen from the roof of the hotel.

Lots of big buildings all over. If it weren’t for AC, these buildings would be practically uninhabitable.
Lots of apartments.
