We arrived into Singapore to find we were in the middle of the Lunar New Year Celebrations, welcoming in the Year of the Rat!

So everything closed down, the shops closed , a lot of places to eat also closed. So we didn't arrive at the best time to explore the city.

However, we saw first hand how the Chinese celebrate, which was great. We saw fireworks and joined the crowds for some good food. We also managed to find some time to try a Singapore Sling at the world famous colonial style Raffles hotel.

Now we head into the real Asia!
