Shriners

Tonight, we had a cabbie who knew where he was going and a taxi free of used tissues in the door. The gods were smiling.

The driver had a dashboard shrine, as many drivers have here. Some are quite elaborate. The Indian god Ganesh is popular as are a range of Chinese gods. Humidifiers, fans and various communication devices also ride shotgun in Singaporean cabs.

I haven't a clue about what this one means. Uncle said it's an homage to a Chinese movies about a dog trying to find his way back home. But I really don't see the connection.

This is the first of what I expect will be many shrine photos
