As Chinese New Year draws to an end, I wondered if there will be any activities in Chinatown. Finding no particular event listed the internet, I still decided to just roam around and see what I can find.
If you are in the market for souvenirs, Chinese mementos or authentic local food and snacks, this is definitely the spot. I realized that I should have bought my mother-in-law here the last time she visited instead of Bugis. She would have appreciated the wide variety of souvenir and gift shops.
So I was just walking around and taking in the sights observing the hapless foreigners and busy shopkeepers.
I won't be discussing any historical background here as that can easily be looked up in Wikipedia. Instead I'll be sharing some of the interesting things that caught my eye and consequently the Instagram app (which is my current obsession, by the way).
