Two cards from Singapore in a matter of two weeks! This lovely card shows the famous Raffles Hotel in Singapore and was sent to me by Chen. Chen is Chinese but is in Singapore working on his PhD at the National Unviersity of Singapore. The Raffles Hotel was built in 1887 and although has gone through renovations from time to time, has pretty much stayed intact since 1887. It has played host to many dignataries through the ages as well as used extensively in movies and TV shows. It reminds me a little of the Hotel Galvez on Galveston Island, however, that hotel was built in 1911. Thanks again, Chen, for helping me learn even more about Singapore. (Hey, that rhymes!)
