Travel sketches from my trip to Asia this winter! I got to travel Taiwan, Thailand and Singapore, although sadly I only really had time to draw in Singapore. Drawings here depict Chihkan Tower in Tainan, Haw Par Villa, homes and playgrounds in Tanjong Pagar, Gardens by the Bay and the Asian Civilizations Museum in Singapore.

Zelda was feeling a little homesick this week, so she’s gonna tell you about a haunted theme park in Singapore! Haw Par Villa hosts some of South East Asia’s creepiest statues and chaotic demonic entities. Would you like to visit?

More Windows into the Past: The gilt-decorated domed mansion that depleted Singapore's stock of gold

More Windows into the Past: The gilt-decorated domed mansion that depleted Singapore’s stock of gold

Another set of photographs from the Harrison Forman collection offering a peak into Singapore’s past is one that contains views, in complete colour, of a famous but long demolished mansion and its curious garden in 1941. Both were objects of much fascination, and its even had the likes of Carl Mydans also photographing it for LIFE Magazine that same year, for a feature on Singapore published in…

Heya, long time no see! ;-) I saw you dig monkeys now and that reminded me of my visits to Singapore when I was still an island dweller and deep into goblins. You see, in Singapore they have this place called Haw Par Villa (connected to the Tiger Balm creator(s)) and inside their gardens are these massive, giant, grotesque, cool, fascinating sculptures of Chinese folklore, including Journey To The West. Back then, I took some pictures because a friend of mine told me about the monkey king. And also, they just have crazy things in there.

I think, that's him here:

Or this:

You'll maybe find better images online. But you know what... I think I simply recommend you drop by that place, should you ever come to visit Singapore! ;-)

They have also this awesome cave exhibition where they show off the most gruesome torture chambers of hell for the dead. It's got an age rating at the entrance. Good. xD

Anyway! Keep going on your journey and have a great day!

Oh shit, my dude! It's been 84 years!! ✨😌 I hope things are doing well for you!!

OMG, those look so awesome!!! Honestly, if I ever go to Asia again I will go to Singapore or China to see Chinese folklore stuff! That place you showed pictures looks amazing! Thank you for showing me these, friend! ✨

Exploring the Circle Line MRT Map in Singapore: A Comprehensive Guide

Singapore's Circle Line MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) is a pivotal part of the city-state's highly efficient and comprehensive public transportation system. This guide offers an in-depth look into navigating the Circle Line, places to visit, things to do, and essential tips for travelers and locals alike.

Behold! An homage to Stardust Crusaders based on my travel photos taken at Haw Par Villa. Sadly the Tiger Balm Garden that the SDC cast visits in Hong Kong was demolished in 2004, but I got to visit its sibling in Singapore. It was honestly a super charming destination even with my geeky intentions aside, but it felt in the spirit of the series to take the Jojos with me while I toured Asia this winter.

Diyu Part 2 of 2

West Hell

Hell of the Cattle Pit, where those who have abused animals will repeatedly be hurt by animals in turn.

Hell of the Crushing Boulder, where those who have abandoned or killed children will repeatedly be made to hold up heavy boulders, eventually being crushed by its weight.

Hell of Mortars and Pestles, where those who voluntarily waste food will repeatedly be force-fed hell fire by demons.

Hell of the Blood Pool, where those who disrespect others will be thrown in and submerged into a pool of blood.

Hell of the Wrongful Dead, where those who have committed suicide—considered deliberately going against the karmic course of the universe—will be forced to repeatedly wander the realm without a way out, while being pelted constantly by the Winds of Sorrow and the Rains of Pain.

Hell of Dismemberment, where tomb raiders will have their bodies repeatedly be torn into pieces.

Hell of the Mountain of Fire, where thieves, robbers, and the corrupt will be repeatedly thrown into the fiery pits of an active volcano.

Hell of Mills, where those who have misused their power to oppress the weak will repeatedly be crushed in a stone mill.

Hell of Saws, where those who have engaged in unethical or unfair business practices, or exploited loopholes in the legal system, will be repeatedly sawn in half by demons with saws.

After souls have had their sins and transgressions tortured out of them for indeterminable periods of time, they are finally allowed to begin the process of being reincarnated back into the world.

In the Buddhist faith, life is simply part of the journey to attaining enlightenment. Beings must go through multiple cycles of life, death, purgatory, and rebirth in order to be cleansed of all accumulated bad karma and gain enough good karma to attain this highest state of being.

Souls who are deemed ready to go back into the world are first required to face a mythical old lady called Meng Po (孟婆)—or Granny Meng. She is the goddess of forgetfulness and oversees preparing the Broth of Oblivion, stewed using various herbs and plants, which will wipe the soul of their memories of their previous life and their experiences in hell. Purged of all their previous knowledge and sins, the soul then crosses the Bridge of Forgetfulness and gets reborn into a new earthly incarnation to begin the cycle all over again.

Because of this myth, there have been Chinese legends of babies being able to speak, or children seemingly wise beyond their years with inexplicably begotten knowledge, countless stories and movies also continue to use the trope of lovers remembering each other after reincarnation or if you encounter somebody who feels mysteriously familiar, the Chinese belief is that you were likely knew each other during your previous lives —in such cases, it is said that the soul within them didn’t drink or didn’t finish the entire portion of magical brew, thereby retaining memories from past lives.

Throughout this I’ve used a mixture of images from 3 different tourist attractions all about Diyu –

Fengdu Ghost City is a large complex of shrines, temples and monasteries modelled to resemble Youdu, the capital of Diyu located on the Ming mountain, in Fengdu County, Chongqing municipality, China. Fengdu became known as Ghost City in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) when two officials from the Imperial court married and settled on Mt. Minshan just outside the city. The combination of their surnames, Yin and Wang, sound like "King of Hell" in Chinese.

In the South of Singapore there’s a park called Haw Par Villa that has a dramatized interpretation of the Ten Courts of Hell based on Chinese folklore – It’s pretty run down these days but for a feee you can enter a gloomy man-made cave depicting the gruesome Chinese Ten Courts of Hell, apt named as Hell’s Museum.

And the Hell Museum at Jalan Kayu Joint Temple located alongside the southern end of Jalan Kayu, at the fringe of Sengkang Estate in Singapore
