Chinese New Year

Another Chinese New Year descends upon us in Singapore.  Our 5th and year of the dragon.  The most notable thing is the changes at the grocery store.  Part of tradition is that you get all your shopping and cutting done before the lunar new year, then during the 3 day holiday you serve your family and friends food.  The first year I was here, I was baffled at the crowds and the changes in traffic patterns.  Now I got it all down.  I know what I have to brave to get some groceries.


The day before Chinese New Year, waiting in line.
