Chinatown

It's great as I'm able to meet Joe and Sharon at Chinatown. They are exploring Sg for the very first time and will return to Pg tomorrow. We met up at Chinatown MRT. They were shocked because i never visit Chinatown. Don't blame ya if I show you both wrong direction. You will not get lost anyway. ;P

The history of Chinatown from http://www.visitsingapore.com/

Singapore's Chinatown evolved around 1821 when the first Chinese junk arrived from Xiamen, Fujian province in China. The passengers, all men, set up home around the south of the Singapore River which is known today as Telok Ayer. Chinatown’s local name - Niu Che Shui (Bullock Cart Water) arose from the fact each household at that time had to collect fresh water from the wells in Ann Siang Hill and Spring Street, using bullock-drawn carts.

In Chinatown, everywhere is decorated with red tanglungs. It tries to remind me that Chinese New Year is just around the corner.

busy choosing new year products....

I like here because there has variety of products to be sold such as clothes, new year accessories, unique-designed ang-pao pack, souvenirs,etc. I found that a lot of 'Manju' stalls here and the seller shouted loudly to attract customers. Yea, this way really catched my attention and I really buy it.

saliva drooling....

Yummy, yummy.. will eat you soon.. :D
