After a spot of dinner at the
Tuckshop (the fish and chips are awesome) with Say Wee, I ended up in Chinatown where the POSB ATM was. It was near the Buddha Tooth Relic temple and I got this awesome shot. Nearby, there was a large gathering of people who waited for a lion dance competition to begin. Now that was a sight - men under heavy fabric who had to leap from pole to pole, with a brick's width of standing room on each, to a height of about 7 feet. The HK troupe opened proceedings and took a good 15mins to perform the feline acrobatics to the amusement of the children in the crowd.

It would have been nice if there was an organised group of tourists or multi-ethnic groups to enjoy the culture and effort.
