The Miseducation of Tamara Sanderson

Two of my friends are in town this week. Akshay is speaking at a Social Impact conference; Amrita flew over to visit him (and subsequently, me).

Last night, we were discussing what we remember from high school and college.  

The unanimous agreement: very little.  

I can do basic algebra, but don't give me a graphing calculator.  I have no idea what I was pressing into my TI-89 in Calculus.  Amrita & Akshay both went to ITT Bombay, which has a crazy hard placement test -- I'm sure they studied WAY more than I did in high school, yet still, same answer.

So, why do we remember so little?

Photo Shoot: Armenian Church, Singapore

Singapore is a true melting pot.  Within 45 minutes, I can walk from Little India to Arab Street to Chinatown, with bits and pieces of other cultures along the way.

It also has a true mix of religion:

• Buddhism: 33%
• Christianity: 18%
• Islam: 15%
• Taoism: 11%
• Hindu: 5%
• Non-religious: 17%
• Other: 1%

On the other hand, the US is more flat.

• Christianity: 75%
• Non-religious: 20%
• Other: 5%

Out of curiosity, I decided to survey the religions in Singapore for my Objectifs Photography Project.  Check out some of my favorites from this beautiful church.
