Tomorrow it is Lunar New Year with the Year of the Rabbit. Tonight there were the preparations for the New Year’s Eve show.

The advantage of attending the preparations is the lack of a crowd and the earlier timing. I don’t think I will go down there tomorrow.

It is larger than a soccer field. The impressive building on the left is the Marina Bay Sands, Singapore’s latest acquisition to it’s skyline.
