Chinatown New Year 2015

In Singapore, Chinese New Year is the major event on the calendar.  Weeks before, anticipation begins.  It is a time of traditions, family, food and NO WORK.  Singapore literally closes down for at least two full days, as families reunite and celebrate.  And you must have all the proper foods and joyous decorations, as traditions are the key to this period.  No better place to pick up all your flowers, nuts, pineapple tarts, Bakwah and noodles than the center of Chinese New Year....Chinatown!

It seemed like the perfect time to hop on the MRT (which I messed up and got on the wrong train initially) and spend a little time in Chinatown in Singapore on the day festivities were about to kick off.  Putting it mildly, it was a happenin place!
