An evening in Orchard

Have you ever been on the top of a open Hippo shaped Double decker Bus & travelled across a fully lit Shopping district ? I just did that ! The Singapore Tourism Board offers a free 30 mins ride on this special bus for tourists across the busy Orchard Road ( The Shopping paradise of Singapore ) between 830 to 1030 pm every night till Christmas. The Entire road is decorated with lights , X'mas trees ( All fullt lit and some as tall as 100 feet) , fountains & of course the tall skyscrappers .

There is a free audio commentary describing the origins of Singapore and explaining the various places one sees on the way ( Mostly shopping Malls ) . There are huge Butterflies,Santa Claus, Trees, Baloons all created out of lights all along the road & the city never sleeps in this place. Oh boy , what a great way to start the Christmas break ....
