NC-17 Singapore . . . Seriously

November 7, 2013

Our second to last day of Singapore was spent visiting the slightly demented theme park, Haw Par Vila.  This free park was opened by the brothers who created Tiger Balm to explain Confucius and Chinese Mythology.   There were several terraces of Gods and myths explained complete with hand painted life size dioramas, but really it was the 10 Courts of Hell that was the most fun!  I swear I am not a psychopath!

(But really . . . rethink showing this one to the kiddios)

IMG 5479The grand entranceway to the theme park Haw Par Villa . . . lots of tiger figurines around.

IMG 5544The park starts off looking enchanting.

IMG 5550And there's even such vegan friendly parables like this one: man frees a turtle he buys from the market and years later the turtle saves his life when his boat sinks.  (Vegans 1 - Meat Eaters - 0)

IMG 5551Not sure the parable here but it made for a good picture opt!

IMG 5482At least Hell is easy to find!

IMG 5484There were plenty of graphic warnings. . . let this be one for you too before you scroll down!!!

Hell-O-Fortune - Try and match the picture of the punishment with the crime above!
