Christmas in Singapore
After a peiod of holiday from “writing”…here I am again with the latest news about SIngapore
First and foremost, we have changed seasons around here…it is no longer Monsoon season. It is now dry season.
Of course, it is not at all the kind of change I was used to in Europe and Romania…especially since I was talking with my parents on the phone today and they were telling me it is now SNOWING in Romania!! I simply got so used to the weather here thta my definition of seasons have changed…WAITY until I come to Romania in January (I will be really FREEZING!!)
Furthermore, the most interesting things that I found about Singapore at this time are the Christmas preparations.
They started them at the BEGINNING of NOVEMBER!! Can you imagine?!?
2 months in advance, and already the city is filled with lights, and Christmas trees…and Santa Clauses…etc
And even more amazingly, more than 70% of the population does not even celebrat it. Because they are not Christians!!
One more fascinating piece of local culture I guess…:)
