Here are some pictures from last Friday night (September 7th) when I went to the Chinese Gardens to check out the Lantern Festival that was going on as part of the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year's festival is trying to get into the Guiness World Book or Records for the most marine-themed lanterns in an event. 45 professional lantern makers from China spent the entire month of August in Singapore manually constructing them.
After work Friday night, I was so tired but I made myself go just so I could get out in Singapore. It was about a 20 minute subway ride and then a straight walk from the station right into the gardens. It was $12 to get in and I got a free hand-held lantern out of the deal! It was so humid out, but it was a nice walk around the gardens.
