Hihi! Inner geek in me. My god, Oracle building looks like those flowchart symbols of a database. Exactly like that.
The merlion is a statue with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. Its name comes from a portmanteau of mermaid and lion.
The merlion was designed by Fraser Brunner for the Singapore Tourism Board in 1964 and was used as its logo up to 1997. The Merlion continues to be its trademark symbol. It also appears frequently in STB-approved souvenirs.
Based on the Singapore Tourism Board's publicity campaign, the lion head and fish body of the creature recalls the story of the legendary Sang Nila Utama, who saw a lion while hunting on an island, en route to Malacca. The island eventually became the sea port of Temasek, a precursor to Singapore.

though i found an illegal gate to enter the temple i chose not to explore surreal building again, then i followed the external walls. while walking i was at the door of Oracle Pension. the old man saw me and invited me to his place to have a turkish coffee. he is the owner of the pension. indeed that was the third time for me being there. some mystical feeling i got. a must place to explore in Didim.
