Warm wishes to all my visitors for the festive season

Welcome!

I went to Orchard Road and an area called City Hall to take a few photos for this Christmas edition.

The national hobby in Singapore is shopping. Orchard Road is the definitive shopping street.
and several new shopping malls have been opened recently, despite the recession!

City Hall has shopping Malls but also the famous Raffles Hotel.

Contrary to what some believe, there is a lot more to Singapore than just the shops, but it does excel.

So here are a few shots to wish you a wonderful time over the next two weeks, whatever you are doing.

I'll be back in the New Year and hope to see you then.

here!
