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…:)
