Johore Bahru Chinese Temple Festival

On the 21st day of the first Lunar Month, a festival procession of the 5 deities of the Chinese temples in Johor Bahru was held.  There is a common saying that the Lunar New Year will only end for the residents in Johor after this festival.  The proceedings started a few days earlier but the main procession is on the 21st itself.



The photos were taken at City Square, near the Malaysian Immigration Checkpoint.  The procession reached City Square after 9 pm.

Sentosa Flower Show and Chinatown: Lunar New Year 2011



This Chinese New Year belongs to the Rabit.  And the Sentosa Flower Show obliged with a big one.















A pleasant walk around the area, starting from the Resorts World.  It was my first trip to this compound.
