Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is the biggest holiday of the year in Singapore. Everything shuts down for at least three days while people visit relatives and sit around the house eating (although the formal period of celebration is 2 weeks). It’s sort of American Thanksgiving and Christmas rolled into one! This year the holiday was Feb 18-20th.

There is always a festival in a park, and we love to go walking around and seeing the displays like this “wishing well” and eating lots of the treats on sale.
