Chinese New Year is just over and they are still celebrating in Singapore. You can see lots of decorations that are still up. Today a Lion Dance group came into the office and performed - it is the first time that I've actually seen a Lion Dance in person and I have to say I was mesmerized by the performance. The acrobats were amazing and the movements looked so real. I tried to take some video and pictures but with all the people I couldn't see it all. Apologies for the quality of the video, it was my first attempt with the iPhone.
At the end of the day we headed to Boat Quay for dinner and to plan our
adventures for the weekend. It's a lovely spot along with Singapore
River with lots of restaurants and pubs. Seems to be a place where the
expats hangout! The breeze from the river was very welcome with the
heat and humidity of Singapore. A tip if you are traveling to Singapore
- bring along comfortable, loose shoes as your feet will swell in the
heat. I thought I had done this, but clearly the shoes aren't loose
enough as I'm now dealing with some blisters :(

It's now the weekend in Singapore and we'll do some more exploring today. Stay tuned!
