Christmas under the tropics

Although Christians of various denominations only represent 15% of the population in Singapore, Christmas is apparently a very popular festival, at least with the merchants.

Orchard road is all decked out:

















A certain fascination for the concept of a white Christmas:
























An ice skating rink in my local mall (complete with a snow making machine):























And of course the food!

Log cakes

















Egg nog






















And pizza! (covered in turkey ham that you can dunk in nacho cheese...)






















Personally I am looking forward to a warm Christmas where I can take advantage of the cheap local seafood!

Merry Christmas everybody!
