Little Chinatown

GONG XI FA CAI! Chinese New Year is around the corner again and everyone is busy shopping for CNY goodies and decoration for this important festival!

We took a little walk around the Bencoolen/Rochor/Bugis area known as "Si Bei Lor" or Forth Street. This place is always buzzing with activities during this period! There's an interesting mix of local and touristy fare. It's not as big as Chinatown but it's equally colourful.

and.. GREAT bargains to be had!!
