Chinatown

Have you ever noticed that most major cities have a "Chinatown" region?  Singapore is no exception.  Chinatown has its own metro stop and immediately upon exiting the subway terminal you are greeted with a very welcoming sign. This area is definitely a tourist attraction.  Lots of trinkets and pretties for sale by vendors who line both sides of the street and beckon you to come and see their wares. 

Of course, what trip to Chinatown would be complete without a bite to eat?

Anything here look GOOD to EAT???

We actually ended up at the food court (or as they call them here in Singapore the "Hawker center") and had a delicious coconut smoothie and salad (as we are dieting).  Then it was back to browsing . . . .

Wouldn't the color of these chopsticks be great in making a quilt?

The colors on the buildings and lanterns were also beautiful.

Having just cleaned out my closets (as though I was dead -- getting rid of everything that I wouldn't want Troy to have to deal with), I did not buy any lollies.  But I did enjoy LOOKING at all that was offered.  And NO, I did not get either a tattoo or a massage.

As our walk-about Chinatown came to an end, the festooned streets glowed with lights and we wondered where the road will take us tomorrow -- check back to see!!
