1. Singaporeans really pray to
all sorts of GODs.
2. While walking past a row of
shop houses; this shop owner
evidently prays to a pair of
"striped tigers".
3. In the first picture; he
has a pair of Qi Lin on each
side of the front pillar. And
in the middle; a worship altar
on the floor. Notice the two
different pairs of striped
lions.... each with it's mouth
full ... symbolic of bringing
in wealth.
4. A percentage of mediums
somehow; enact or even become
"tiger god" in some instances.
Usually, these people hope to
get great wealth.

Yes, I absolutely agree with you. I'm an US but I'm living in Singapore. So I a bit understand their culture and habits. They always pray to all kinds of GODs.

The information is very useful and interesting.
I hope I have a chance to visit China to understand more about the
country's culture and its people. Thanks for your sharing! I'm waiting
for new ones from you.

Dear GOD,
What do you like to have:
Coffee or English Tea? Both?
Or even several cups
ofChinese tea.
For you, no problem! We will
make it for you!
This is perhaps repeated every
morning in many Kopitams
(Non-airconditioned coffee
shops) each day.In many coffee
shops; an offering of 5
oranges are also offered with
the coffee or tea!
Why 5 oranges? This has to do
with the Cantonese custom of
"praying" to the 5 spirits: of
the North, South, East, West
and Centre spirit or
"5-Ghosts".

Thanks you for your explaination! There are many Chinese culture I want to study more. Chinese culture is very interesting and diversified.
