Take note of all the different shophouses with different designs. Shophouse consists of shop on the ground floor and residential accomodation on the higher floor. These shophouses have a long history and some dated during the colonial times.
Shophouses decorating their shop front with chinese new year greetings and lion dance mascots.

Chinatowns are always so colorful. Nice post.

The Monkey God is Hanuman and I am impressed by your knowledge and you remember it well too.
Thank you for all your nice comments and wishes.
Indrani, cause during my childhood there weren't much programmes on our black and white television so we watch any programmes in any languages...lol. (Now I sound so old...hehehe)
We were amazed by the magic act of the Monkey God and during those times, no high techology or computer in producing these shows. I was amazed how the monkey god can changed into a giant monkey god. OK, now I will remember the name of the monkey god. Thank you.
Very beautiful and so different from what we see here in Europe. I like it.
Great Sky Watch, Great buildings, Great decoration, and heres hoping you have a great Year Of The Ox..

Marie, am glad you like it. You can view my food blog and see what food we eat in Singapore. :)
Tom, thank you so much for the wishes.
Beautiful photos and deco too.
Oh yes, those different shapes on the buildings make the street quite amusing.
By the way, Happy New Year (I think this one is the Ox Year, right?)
