Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus (even in SINGAPORE)

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus (even in SINGAPORE - Pictures to Prove it)!  As I wrap up my first Christmas in Singapore, my family and friends back home in AZ are nestled all snug in their beds still sleeping with visions of sugar-plums dancing in their heads. Singapore is 15 hours ahead of Phoenix. It is also my first Christmas alone so I am a little nostalgic for anything Christmas so excuse my attempt at a Christmas story. Speaking of which, this is also the first Christmas without Ralphie and A Christmas Story. But never fear, Singapore does celebrate Christmas with over the top decorations on Orchard Road which is a cross between the Las Vegas Strip and Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. Here are a few pics I took while roaming Orchard the two weeks proceeding Christmas. I hope you enjoy my gift to you from Singapore want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (which I will be celebrating both the December 31st New Year and the Christmas New later in February). Got to love this place!

Now that I will be spending a bit of time over here in Singapore, my Blog will also be where I share my experiences of living abroad in addition to photography (above and below the water) and my travel reports to the many areas in Asia I will be visiting. I currently have a trip to Beijing China in January so stay posted.

Looks like they like purple and blue for Christmas not red and green. Love, K
