      I think this is the right time to share with all of you 中秋节 festive celebration in Chinatown. This is also to show you the transformation of Chinatown in the recent years.

       

      Hope all you you won't miss home or at least these photos will remind you of a place call home

       

      中秋节快乐！！！

      Lin Yu, thanks for remembering us..... smile.png

      Can you please also put up photos of different mooncakes you can find in Singapore?  Our choice overseas is quite limited! Though we can't eat them... at least we can "admire" them.... teeth.pngteeth.png

      Let me bring you to a tour of Chinatown. This is the famous Lim Chee Guan Bak Kua Stall. They sell like hot cakes during Chinese New Year

      With changing times, the old will disappear and the new will take over. These new laterns works on batteries. It comes with music and even soap bubbles!!!

      Nevertheless, the old won't disappear if there's someone who will remember our culture.
