Haw Par Villa

1 Jul 10 - Sightseeing in Singapore

This villa is a garden made by the makers of Tiger Balm, after they become eccentrically rich from their magic cure-all. The garden contains terrifyingly huge, colorful statues depicting stories of Chinese folklore. The ten circles of hell take you through a journey of death and the afterlife. After death, you’re sent to a circle based on your life-crime, and you will later be reincarnated after serving your time. The crime/punishment match up is comical and confusing- for example, murder and money laundering will both land you in circle nine’s pit of knives. How did those become equivalent crimes?
