The Great Duck Race

Today was the 2007 Singapore Duck Race...it also happens to be Ryan's birthday too. Happy birthday, Ryan! :)

I went and picked up a few things at the grocery store last night, so after having a hearty bowl of Frosted Flakes for breakfast, I headed out to Clarke Quay (pronounced "key") to catch the 7th running of the Singapore rubber duckies. Clarke Quay is a riverside village filled with shops, restaurants, and nighttime hotspots:

For the duck race, 10,000 rubber ducks were put up for adoption to raise money for various charities around Singapore. At 1pm, the ducks were dumped out of 2 trucks and into the Singapore river. (I havent been able to shrink videos yet, but once I figure out how...I'll post a video of them being emptied out into the water.)
