1st Day in Singapore

I'm in Singapore for the next two weeks on a business trip.  My wife, Marisa, came along with me so that she could take in the sights.  We spent our first day trying to adjust our body clocks to the different timezone (At this time of year, Singapore is 14 hours ahead of Houston).  This photo is from our visit to Chinatown.  This week begins the celebrations around the Chinese Lunar New Year, which is a huge celebration in Singapore.  During this time of year, Chinatown is filled with elaborate decorations, and extra streets are closed off to vehicular traffic, allowing for hawkers to set up long lines of booths to sell holiday food.  In the background you can see many types of dried meat.  We stopped at one booth where they were selling all sorts of jelly and nut candies.  These aren't nearly as sweet as what we're used to in the United States, but they are quite good, and I suspect are considerably better for you than the ones we eat at home.  More from Singapore in later posts as the trip progresses.
