Chinatown, Singapore. Needless to say, it was sardine-packed full of people. But I don’t believe I’ve gone down to S’pore’s Chinatown during CNY before, so it’s an experience. They sell the traditional Chinese New Year goodies, cultural arts and crafts, and many random things like special anti-bacterial socks (the stall attracted quite a crowd), Power Showers (showerheads), and some imports, mostly candies and sweets, from Japan, Taiwan and Europe.
Stalls line the streets. I don’t think the shophouses’ windows were specially painted for this occasion though, matching as they are.
Everything’s red – this stall must be oozing with good luck
It never does harm to bargain.
Safekeep your pennies in these blue-eyed red-nosed golden-year-of-the-rat piggy banks!

Looking at the rat-pig, does this mean that S’pore is pro-GM animals?
